Climate Change, Land-Based Livelihoods, and Conservation

Faculty expertise: Corrie Knapp

Professor Knapp focuses on understanding how to best manage and conserve working landscapes in the context of climate change, how to assess and intervene in social-ecological systems, and how climate change will impact the quality and distribution of ecosystem services. She also explores how small-scale “experiments” can scale up and lead to larger-scale transformations.

Ungulate Nutritional Ecology

Faculty expertise: Kevin Monteith

Students and faculty in the Monteith Shop conduct research to support habitat-based, sustainable management of ungulate populations. Their work investigates questions around the effects of predation, habitat alteration, climate change, migration strategies, disease, growth, and novel disturbance through the lens of nutrition.

Carnivore and Habitat Ecology

Faculty expertise: Joe Holbrook

With a focus on mammalian carnivores, research by the Holbrook Team uses extensive data sets to study population and community ecology and improve understanding around why animals are where they are on landscapes, how environmental change influences them, and the roles they fill in broader ecological communities. Further, the interaction between humans and the environment, which has implications for policy, land management, and conservation solutions, informs this research. Read more
