Research Focus

I focus on two avenues of research: 1) nonlinear population dynamic models applied to fish and wildlife populations including salmon, walleye, smelt, fishers, otters and bobcat; 2) spatial statistical models applied to environmental systems including spatial abundance of fish and wildlife populations and the spatial statistical dynamics of physical processes such as temperature.
