Research
For the past 18 years I've been involved with bear research using non-invasive sampling techniques (genetic, remote camera). I am currently obtaining a MSc in Wildlife Ecology & Management and plan to follow it with a PhD. My masters thesis research uses DNA data and hair samples from my previous work and new stable isotope analysis to investigate the diet of sympatric grizzly (Ursus arctos) and black Bears (U. americanus) in Glacier National Park, Montana.
