Biography

Dr. Paukert received his degrees from Minnesota (BS), Oklahoma State (MS), and South Dakota State (PhD) and also worked at the USGS Grand Canyon Monitoring and Research Center before becoming the Assistant Leader-Fisheries at the Kansas Unit in 2003. Dr. Paukert has been the Unit Leader of the Missouri Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit since 2010. He conducts research to help agencies manage aquatic resources locally to globally. Much of the work has involved fish conservation and management in rivers and streams but also includes conservation planning at the landscape scale. More recently, Dr. Paukert’ s work has focused on helping agencies cope with climate change by helping them develop adaptation strategies for fishes. Although much of his work is in the Midwest US, Dr. Paukert has also been involved in national to global assessments to help managers and policy makers with their conservation challenges. Dr. Paukert has taught graduate levels courses in fisheries science and professional skills needed to be a successful natural resources manager and researcher.
