Jay Curtis Stager (born July 29, 1956) is an author, radio co-host, musician, and professor of natural sciences at

Climate Change Institute[2] at the University of Maine, Orono. His research [3] in Africa and the Adirondacks has focused on the use of lake sediment cores[4] to reconstruct past climates, evolution, and human impacts on ecosystems over centuries to thousands of years. In addition to investigating environmental histories of lakes in Africa, South America, and the United States, he has studied acid rain
recovery in Adirondack lakes, human impacts on Thoreau's Walden Pond, fish evolution in Uganda, megadroughts in the Afro-Asian monsoon region, coral reef ecology in the Bahamas, and exploding lakes in Cameroon.

He received a B.A. in biology and geology from

lake ecology
, and a convention of Catholic Climate Ambassadors at Paul Smith's College in March, 2016.

A YouTube video[6] of Curt playing guitar for a pet crow that appeared online in 2015 has been popular on various websites. He performs frequently on banjo and guitar, was director of Meadowlark Music Camp in Washington, ME, between 1997 and 2010, and co-organized the annual Science Art Music Festival [7] at Paul Smith’s College since 2014.
