Core Staff

Madeline (she/her) is a spatial ecologist who’s broad research interests include understanding how species’ behavior impacts their resilience to anthropogenic disturbance as well as the application of remote sensing and biologging data to determining how wildlife respond to dynamic landscapes. She holds a MSc in Conservation Ecology and Geospatial Data Science from University of Michigan School for Environment and Sustainability and a BSc in Animal Behavior from Bucknell University.

Recently, Madeline’s research has focused on quantifying the effects of environmental predictability on fine scale movement of mule deer in disparate ecosystems of the American West. She has also spent time researching social learning and innovation in yellow bellied marmots in the mountains of Colorado, teaching natural science to highschool students, and leading backcountry trips in the canyonlands of Utah.

Outside of work, Madeline enjoys running, climbing, starting (but never finishing) knitting projects, and playing board games.
