Profile

Christina Vojta has been with the National Wildlife Ecology Unit since 1997. Her primary work activities focus on terrestrial wildlife monitoring issues, which include development of monitoring designs, developing monitoring partnerships with other agencies and organizations, and transferring information about monitoring activities across Forest Service regions. Her interests and research experience are in landscape pattern analysis and wildlife habitat selection at the landscape scale. Christina is currently an Associate Editor for the Journal of Wildlife Management and a member of the Forest Service Remote Sensing Steering Committee. She is a co-organizer and instructor for the Forest Service continuing education shortcourse, Wildlife and Plant Habitat Management, in collaboration with Northern Arizona University (NAU). She also teaches a session of the Forest Service’s Continuing Education in Ecosystem Management (CEEM). Christina is adjunct faculty in the Forestry Department at NAU.
