Biographical Sketch:
Joel has spent the last fifteen years working to better align science activities with decision-maker information needs (though he wasn’t always aware of that goal). As Science Coordinator for the Western Alaska Landscape Conservation Cooperative, he is helping guide and develop the Cooperative’s long-term strategy to improve understanding of the expected impacts of landscape-scale drivers of change, especially climate change, and develop adaptation strategies for sustaining the region’s natural and cultural systems. The prior twenty years or so were spent as an applied statistician focusing on the fields of ecology, environmental science, and wildlife management, including positions with the US Fish & Wildlife Service in Alaska (Regional Refuge Biometrician), Alaska Dept. of Fish and Game (Statewide Genetics Biometrician), and University of Washington (faculty, Dept. of Statistics). He earned his Ph.D. in the University of Washington’s Interdisciplinary Graduate Program in Quantitative Ecology and Resource Management.
