Animal movements and habitats were a focus
of my earliest work, and remains so today.The ways wildlife and livestock use landscapes
that are changing is of interest.Agent-based modeling lets me simulate
animals in changing landscapes. -
Ecological modeling allows me to forecast
effects of drivers of change on landscapes.I use simulation with my own or others' modeling
tools in my research.Scenario analyses lets me address the "what if" questions
of interest to scientists, managers, and policy makers. -
My pastoral ecology and simulation work
contributes to a group at CSU who are leaders in the topic.Effects of fragmentation on pastoral areas, and the ways
it affects livestock, people, and wildlife are a focus.Decisions people make and their effects on household
well-being are topics I address with agent-based methods. -
Teaching and mentoring is an activity I enjoy
and that I work to improve through research and practice.I teach ecosystem science to undergraduate and graduate
students at Colorado State University and elsewhere.I also teach technological methods, including geographic
information systems, spatial analyses, and modeling.
