Travis Warziniack is an economist with the Rocky Mountain Research Station’s Human Dimensions program. Most of his work uses general equilibrium models to address water issues (changes in quantity and quality) and impacts to aquatic ecosystems (for example, from introduction of aquatic invasive species). Major projects include: extending the Forest Service’s national water assessment to include regional-level data and modeling; examining the value of forest-related ecosystem services to municipal water users; and modeling human-induced spread of aquatic invasive species.

Travis received his bachelor’s degree in economics from Louisiana State University, his master’s in economics from the University of Texas, and his Ph.D. in economics from the University of Wyoming.
