Madeline C. Aberg, PhD

In 2023, I completed my PhD in the Ecology, Evolution, & Behavior program at Boise State University. I am currently a Visiting Assistant Professor of Conservation Biology at Warren Wilson College in North Carolina.

​
I am broadly interested in the challenge of balancing human activities with conservation. I study the social and ecological dynamics of outdoor recreational activities, wildlife populations, and public lands. This work includes asking how recreational use affects wildlife abundance, behavior, and habitat use . Because the ecosystem influences and is influenced by human activities, my research investigates the patterns of human recreation and the feedbacks between the human and environmental system. 

I am passionate about  teaching and science communication in conjunction with research activities. My teaching page details my approach to course development and inclusive teaching.
