   abstract: As a Research Wildlife Biologist, I conduct studies focused on the ecology,
     physiology, and behavior of large mammals to understand their response to environmental
     change, identify what environmental or ecological factors (e.g., prey availability,
     winter temperature, ice availability, etc.) most influence whether a population
     increases, decreases, or is stable, and to maintain positive wildlife-human
     interactions.

   abstract: I work with international and bilateral groups, such as the Polar Bear
     Range States and US-Russia Polar Bear Commission, DOI partners, including U.S.
     Fish and Wildlife Service, the Bureau of Land Management, and the U.S. National
     Park Service, Alaska Native co-management groups, and local and state governments
     to identify and address research needs for polar bears and walruses.  My research
     focuses primarily on identifying biological and ecological indicators for monitoring
     large mammal populations and ecosystem change and determining mechanisms of
     population regulation in response to environmental change.  I also study wildlife
     interactions with humans in areas of industry, via tourism and recreation, and
     in local communities to help minimize or avoid negative effects on wildlife
     and ensure human safety.  Much of my work is centered on nutritional and physiological
     ecology and its effects on wildlife body condition, reproduction, and survival.
     Often, I work to develop new methods needed to address information needs.  Although
     all research questions pertain to wild populations, I also regularly conduct
     studies with animals in zoos and other captive settings where more detailed
     study of animal physiology and development of new research techniques are possible.
