Ph.D - University of Washington - 1988 Pat Sullivan joined the Department of Natural Resources in 1998. His
teaching and research focuses on the dynamics of natural populations
and communities. He uses statistical methods, such nonlinear population
modeling, spatial statistics, and most recently data mining techniques,
to study natural systems quantitatively.
Research
His research has focused mainly on fisheries problems in marine and
freshwater environments. These include statistical methods for population
assessment and modeling, methods for data acquisition and utilization,
spatial modeling of habitat and abundance, and formulating mechanisms
for making better use of information in the management arena. He applies
his space-time statistical perspective to other problems as they arise
in the biological and environmental sciences.
