 abstract: Aaron's passion for environment and natural resource (ENR) research stems
   from an interdisciplinary background. He has received a B.S. in Biology, a B.S.
   in Economics, an M.S. in Economics and ENR, and a Ph.D. in Economics, all from
   the University of Wyoming. Aaron is particularly interested in combining bioeconomic
   modeling and nonmarket valuation to better capture feedback between economic and
   ecological systems. As a graduate student, he applied this style of approach to
   human-grizzly bear interactions in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. As a postdoc
   at the University of Alaska Anchorage, he estimated the nonmarket value of wild
   sockeye salmon using recreation permit data. Aaron has worked on many other ENR
   applications, including uncovering people's values for viewing individual wildlife
   species, determining people's willingness to pay to conserve wide-ranging wildlife,
   examining how people's risk perceptions influence their protective actions against
   wildlife and pests, and quantifying people's preferences for "ugly" agricultural
   produce.
