Mailing Address: Research InterestsCo-advised with Dr. Helen Regan, Dawn also has a Web page here: Regan Lab Members page I received a Bachelor of Science from University of California at Davis and a Masters degree in ecology at SDSU. I currently work as the Senior Natural Resources Specialist for the Southwest Division Naval Facilities Engineering Command in San Diego. For my PhD work I am integrating population modeling with formal decision making and adaptive management methods to identify the most effective management strategy to benefit a range of species in fragmented habitats that experience altered disturbance regimes. I am focussing on approximately 5 species representing different trophic levels or guilds at Pt. Loma Naval Base in San Diego. I will evaluate the impact of potential natural resources management practices on population viability and biodiversity and develop a general framework for formal decision making for mutli-species management. |
