He has focused on integrating data-intensive scientific\ \ discovery approaches that can facilitate a gained understanding of ecological\ \ processes, leading to better-informed prescriptions for decision-making actions.\ \ He has investigated a variety of biotic and abiotic studies across the sagebrush\ \ biome, including sage-grouse population frameworks/trends and habitat modeling,\ \ state-and-transition models, fire simulations, soil-climate budgets, as well\ \ as simulated land-use and climate change scenarios. He leverages information\ \ from a hybrid of scientific disciplines, such as ecology, geospatial sciences,\ \ remote sensing, statistics, and computer science to increase the understanding\ \ of complex multi-scale ecological relationships at community, regional, and\ \ global geographic extents." additionalType: personal statement email: odonnellm@usgs.gov hasCredential: [] hasOccupation: - '@type': OrganizationalRole affiliatedOrganization: '@type': Organization name: Fort Collins Science Center url: https://www.usgs.gov/centers/fort-collins-science-center roleName: Biologist startDate: '2024-05-10T20:47:06.603868' identifier: - '@type': PropertyValue propertyID: ORCID value: 0000-0002-3488-003X - '@type': PropertyValue propertyID: GeoKB value: https://geokb.wikibase.cloud/entity/Q48355 jobTitle: Biologist knowsAbout: - '@type': Thing additionalType: self-claimed expertise name: database development - '@type': Thing additionalType: self-claimed expertise name: landscape-scale modeling - '@type': Thing additionalType: self-claimed expertise name: data development memberOf: '@type': OrganizationalRole member: '@type': Organization name: U.S. Geological Survey name: staff member startDate: '2024-05-10T20:47:06.600202' name: Michael O'Donnell url: https://www.usgs.gov/staff-profiles/michael-odonnell
