Evan G. Cooch
Ph.D - Queen's University - 1990
B.S. - St. Lawrence University - 1981
Evan Cooch joined the Department of Natural Resources in 1998. He conducts
research on the application of theoretical and quantitative methods to the
management and conservation of natural resources. Particular interests
include population modeling, statistical ecology, and theoretical ecology.
Research
His current research includes (i) analysis of disease dynamics in a model
bird species, (ii) analysis of non-linear methods for assessment of
coupling and information exchange, and (iii) patch-selection among obligate herbivores, and
(iv) optimal harvesting of structured populations.
