RESEARCH INTERESTS
My research is focused on applied ecological investigations that meet information needs for the management of waterfowl and waterfowl habitats. My research involves the use of advanced satellite telemetry to understand relationships between the behavior and movement of wildlife and their environment. Specifically, I am interested in how movement of ducks and geese is influenced by land uses, weather conditions, and hunting pressure.
