Drs. Wilcox and Koerner have an active research program funded by the National Science Foundation involving graduate students, undergraduates, and citizens of South Africa. They are studying how biodiversity promotes recovery after compound extreme events such as the extreme drought and simultaneous heavy herbivory that occurred in southern African between the years of 2015-2016, or the drought that swept across Kenya in 2021 and 2022. The primary location of their study site is in Kruger National Park, South Africa.
