Who We Are

At the Applied Wildlife Ecology & Spatial Movement (AWESM) Lab, we study wildlife and habitat management from individual land parcels to entire landscapes in agriculturally dominated areas. We approach our research in a variety of ways, including spatial modeling, observational data, and human dimensions. We value critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and hard work to accomplish our mission of providing applicable science to help landowners and management agencies balance the needs of multi-functional landscapes and create healthy, robust ecosystems.
