Western Ranch Management and Ecosystem Stewardship Program
2019-present, Program Director
The Western Ranch Management and Ecosystem Stewardship Program is a developing academic and research initiative aimed at addressing today’s challenges of ranching in a rapidly changing world. Our program is founded on understanding the diverse ecosystems that define western landscapes, and the natural resources and processes that support ranching communities. We work closely with ranch owners, managers and stakeholders to identify education and research needs specific to the Rocky Mountain West.

NASA DEVELOP
2011-present, Principal Investigator/Scientific Advisor: The NASA DEVELOP Program is a nationwide program that provides funding for student interns to work within selected U.S. institutions to build applied skills in remote sensing research. The Fort Collins DEVELOP Program in Colorado is jointly administered by the Natural Resource Ecology Laboratory and the USGS Fort Collins Science Center. Student interns are actively engaged in short- and long-term research projects related to forest health, invasive species, hydrology and other ecological issues in Colorado and across the globe.

IUCN Species Survival Commission, Equid Specialist Group
2016-present, Advising Member: The long range goal of the Equid Specialist Group is to conserve biological diversity by developing and executing programs to study, save, restore, and manage wisely wild equids and their habitats. In the short-term, the specific goals are 1) to identify and work with scientists, government personnel, and local residents in the countries where wild zebras, asses, and horses exist, 2) to help raise funds for equid conservation and training projects, and 3) to coordinate with and assist other Species Survival Groups.

Africa Center for Sustainable Ecosystems and Societies under Global Change
2013-present, Co-Investigator: The Africa Center’s mission is to enhance biodiversity, advance human and animal health, empower communities, and promote environmental, economic and social sustainability in Africa. Activities are generally focused on fostering collaborative partnerships between CSU students, faculty and scientists with their counterparts in African countries.

Warner College of Natural Resources and Ethiopia Strategic Alliance
2012-present, Program Director: The mission of the WCNR-Ethiopia Strategic Alliance is to foster stewardship, conservation and sustainable-use of natural resources through international education, research and engagement. We achieve this through scholar exchange programs, collaborative research and academic capacity building (e.g. see http://www.ethiopia-gis.nrel.colostate.edu).
