Applied Conservation Science Lab

The Applied Conversation Science Lab tackles ecological and evolutionary problems and opportunities for the benefit of ecosystems and the people who rely on them. Typically, the lab partners with Indigenous governments and conducts fieldwork in remote coastal environments. Our technical expertise includes food-web modeling, statistical modeling (i.e. sustainable harvest plans), landscape genetics and general spatial-ecological approaches. We often apply these tools to real-world natural resource management contexts. Part of our commitment to applied work includes participating in management design and implementation, environmental impact assessments, and outreach.
