Ph.D Student, Department of Rangeland and Forest Stewardship

Research Summary: I conduct research on strategies for effectively integrating scientific information into natural resource planning and management. Specifically, I am interested in policies and administrative practices for public land management agencies that support relevant, cost effective, and scientifically credible ecological monitoring programs, and facilitate the integration of scientific information into planning and management decision making across local and regional scales. This requires careful attention to organizational structures and processes that support data collection, analysis, collaboration, and effective communication strategies.
