   abstract: Since joining USGS in 2012, she focuses on a diverse portfolio of environmental
     and informational economics research topics including:the value of scientific
     data; ecosystem services assessment and valuation; methods to integrate multi-disciplinary
     analyses to support land use decision-making; lifecycle analyses of resource
     development and conservation; and environmental markets.  Dr. Pindilli is highly
     interested in innovative approaches to non-market valuation and using economics
     as a framework to conduct integrated analyses.Recently, Dr. Pindilli completed
     a primer on biodiversity and habitat markets (see here). She is currently pursuing
     research on quantification tools and enabling information to support biodiversity
     and habitat markets. Dr. Pindilli has ongoing work looking at the value of the
     USGS streamgage network. This includes considering the users and benefits of
     streamflow information for engineering, recreation, and water consumption. She
     is the leading economist on a project assessing the ecosystem services and values
     associated with the Great Dismal Swamp National Wildlife Refuge which includes
     the analysis of recreation, carbon sequestration, wildfire mitigation, and flood
     avoidance (see here). She is conducting similar work at the Ding Darling National
     Wildlife Refuge. She is a co-PI for a study on the Chesapeake Bay watershed
     focusing on floodplain ecosystem services and recently initiated similar work
     for the Delaware River Watershed. She is working with other USGS scientists
     to advance the development of the Multi-Resource Analysis. Dr. Pindilli's graduate
     research included an economic analysis of the costs of agricultural best management
     practices and the potential for nutrient trading in the Chesapeake Bay watershed
     (see here).  Her work is focused on integrated ecologic-economic analyses and
     incorporating the social and earth sciences into decision-making.Prior to joining
     USGS, Dr. Pindilli conducted similar work in the private sector. She spent a
     number of years focused on conventional and unconventional energy development,
     economics, and environmental impacts including the evaluation of U.S. reliance
     on oil imports, compatibility of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, and policy
     analysis of oil shale and other unconventional fuels. Dr. Pindilli provided
     economic and environmental science analytical support for the Interagency Task
     Force on Strategic Unconventional Fuels. She also worked on projects related
     to the sustainability of biofuels, solar and wind power generation issues, and
     shale gas regulatory issues.
