Fun fact

I have howled with wolves in Idaho, and GPS collared bears, lions, and tigers in the US, Africa, and Asia.

U-M Role

I work in the UM School for Environment and Sustainability, where I direct a research laboratory (www.coexistencegroup.com) and teach graduate students. One key theme of my research is the influence of people on wildlife and their habitats under global change. For example, I examine how transportation infrastructure affects wildlife populations and how novel pollutants, like artificial night-lighting and human noise, affect animal behaviors. I also research human attitudes toward wildlife to help understand why people tolerate certain species but not others. I have led research on tigers in Nepal, lions in Mozambique, deer and cougars in the American Southwest, and bears and wolves in the American West and Michigan. I have collaborated with various government and non-government organizations to inform their conservation planning, including the USAID, WWF, and the IUCN. In addition to my research, I teach two graduate-level courses. One is titled “Wildlife & Society” which examines contemporary wildlife conservation issues from local to global scales. Another course I teach is titled “Principles of Geographic Information Systems” that trains students to understand and evaluate spatial datasets and create maps.
