Research Interests
My research areas span Quantitative Conservation Ecology and
Ecological Risk Assessment. I apply population models, treatments of uncertainty
and decision-making techniques to address conservation and wildlife
management issues. My research activities are broad and include:
population viability analysis of endangered and threatened plants using
individual-based models; treatment of uncertainty in contaminant
exposure models for wildlife; systematic decision making for
conservation planning; assessment of uncertainty in endangered species
classification protocols.
Lower division courses: Biostatistics
(Bio 215); Ecology and the Environment (Bio 354)
Upper division and Graduate courses:
Population Modeling for Conservation (Bio 596); Tools for Conservation Planning (Bio 596)
