Biography

Dr. Peterson received graduate degrees from the University of Illinois and University of Missouri and was a post-doctoral researcher with the USDA Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station. He joined the Georgia Unit as Assistant Unit Leader in 1999 and moved to the Oregon Unit in 2011 becoming Unit Leader in 2019. Dr. Peterson has an extensive background in animal population estimation and modeling, and the application of decision theoretic methods to solving complex ecological and resource management problems. A primary focus of his research is on identifying and quantifying the effects of physical and biotic factors on animal populations at multiple scales. This includes studies of population dynamics, community production, and habitat/landscape relationships. Dr. Peterson develops unique analytic approaches to estimate population demographic parameters that integrate data collected at multiple spatial and temporal scales to provide unique insights into multiscale processes affecting animal populations. He then uses decision theoretic approaches to assist natural resource decision making and adaptive management. Dr. Peterson teaches a graduate level classed in Data Management and R computing for Fisheries and Wildlife students, Structured Decision Making in Natural Resource Management, and Quantitative Decision Analysis for Fish and Wildlife Management.
