My research program is in two areas: capture-recapture experiments and statistical consulting in environmental impact studies. It is motivated by real problems encountered by ecologists and health researchers.
My current research projects in ecology are in the estimating of animal abundance, survival, movement and related parameters using mark-recapture methods. Mark-recapture involves the marking of animals (e.g. rings on bird legs; tags on fish; radio collars on large mammals) and then releasing these animals back to their population. Subsequent resightings or recaptures of the marked and unmarked animals allow us to estimate the survival rate, the population size, and the movement rates of the animals.
My environmental impact research interests lie in designing and analysing environmental impact studies. This is motivated by my extensive consulting work with Environmental Consulting companies.
