Profile

Greg joined the Rocky Mountain Region as the Wildlife Ecologist in 1999 after 19 years as a research ecologist. Experiences working with Oz Garton developing approaches to wildlife monitoring, exploring community ecology, and studying the relationship of vertebrates to vegetation dynamics provided a foundation for his interests in the interaction between management and research. A post-doc with John Wiens examining the effects of the Exxon Valdez oil spill on seabirds introduced Greg to formal approaches to landscape ecology. He took his current position after serving as an Assistant Professor at the University of Wyoming where he won the department's Outstanding Teaching Award while conducting research on topics ranging from the genetic structure of boreal owls in North America to modeling the interaction of cutthroat and lake trout in Yellowstone Lake, to developing monitoring systems for the Amur Tiger in the Russian Far East. Greg maintains a position on the faculty at the University of Wyoming where he teaches landscape ecology and continues to work with his university colleagues.
