Capsule Resume Judy brings a unique combination of ecological and quantitative skills to LGL. She has an M.Sc. in Ecology and Environmental Biology, preceded by a 14 year career in software engineering. Her thesis study identified potential core avian habitat for a conservation area design developed by the Yellowstone to Yukon Conservation Initiative (Y2Y). This project included a focal species analysis, development of a statistical non-linear habitat selection model for each focal bird and use of these models within a geographic information system (GIS) to identify high quality avian habitat within the Y2Y area of interest. Since joining LGL in 2005, Judy has performed analytical work for several projects. She provides statistical and analytical support for impact management of the critically endangered western (Asian) grey whale and is presently researching distance sampling methodology for density analysis and population estimation of the species. She also developed and executed data analysis and reporting protocols for the 2005 summer monitoring program. She has worked on a variety of models at LGL that include a collision risk model for western gray whales, habitat suitability (HSI) models for red and blue listed songbirds in the Peace Lowlands, a seral habitat model for grizzly bears and a salmon run reconstruction model. |
