I am a research scientist in the Wildlife and Landscape Science Directorate of Environment and Climate Change Canada. I aim to improve the usefulness, reliability, transparency, and availability of tools for assessing the current state of landscapes and wildlife populations, and for projecting cumulative effects of disturbance on wildlife and vegetation. Examples include tools for: projecting impacts of disturbance on boreal caribou demography; facilitating evaluation of bird species distribution and abundance models; projecting resource roads; and assessing the connectivity of protected areas. The work also includes integration of these components into models of landscape change and wildlife impacts, assessing utility for decision support, identifying important deficits in available data and tools, looking for ways to address these deficits, and building our collective capacity for decision-relevant ecological forecasting.
