   abstract: Aaron Enriquez is a Research Economist in the Social and Economic Analysis
     Branch at the USGS Fort Collins Science Center. Broadly speaking, Aaron's research
     centers around the intersection of human and natural systems. His main areas
     of interest include the economics of wildlife, fisheries, and outdoor recreation,
     as well as the valuation of ecosystem goods and services.

   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.
