Heinz Award with special focus on the environment.[6][7]

Also Field received the 2013

BBVA Foundation Frontiers of Knowledge Award in Climate Change for discovering the importance of ecosystems and their effective management in the battle against climate change. Field's work has allowed to quantify the global climate impact of deforestation, agriculture and other changes in vegetation cover. And vice versa. It has helped predict how climate change will impact on land ecosystems. For 2022 he was awarded the Japan Prize in the category "Biological Production, Ecology/Environment".[8]

Field currently serves as a co-chair of Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's "Working Group II, impacts, adaptation, vulnerability."[9] In February 2015, the US State Department announced his candidacy to be IPCC Chair.[10]

Field Lab

Chris Field's lab at Carnegie Science focuses on ecological research from the ecosystem- to the global scale.[11] Much of the work emphasizes understanding drivers and impacts of global environmental change on various ecosystems, including grasslands and oceans. The Field Lab is also currently working on biomass energy production.[12]
