Sally Archibald

Sally Archibald works on understanding the dynamics of savanna ecosystems in the context of global change. Her work integrates field ecological data, remote sensing, modelling, and biogeochemistry. She is involved in collaborative research projects on fire-grazer interactions, inter-continental savanna comparisons, the importance of land-atmosphere feedbacks, and pursuing a global theory of fire.

Sally Archibald works on understanding the dynamics of savanna ecosystems in the context of global change. Her work integrates field ecological data, remote sensing, modelling, and biogeochemistry. She is involved in collaborative research projects on fire-grazer interactions, inter-continental savanna comparisons, the importance of land-atmosphere feedbacks, and pursuing a global theory of fire. Professor Archibald was a finalist in the National Science and Technology Forum emerging researcher awards in 2016 and is on the steering committee of several scientific programs including the Integrated Land Ecosystem-Atmosphere Processes Study (iLEAPS), the Miombo Network, and the Southern African Science Service Centre for Climate Change and Adaptive Land Use (SASSCAL). She has authored and co-authored more than thirty publications, achieving an H-index of 18. See less
