Madeline C. Aberg, PhD

​I am broadly interested in the challenge of balancing human activities with conservation. I study the ecological and social 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.
