Madeline C. Aberg, PhD

My research is driven by the challenge of balancing human activities with conservation. My lab studies how outdoor recreation, like hiking, biking, or camping, affects wildlife populations and ecosystems. To better understand this relationship, we also study the patterns of human recreation and the motivations and preferences of people.

My students and I work closely with natural resource managers to design research projects with real world applications in Minnesota. ​
