Current Projects

Eagle Environmental scientists are actively involved in research and monitoring projects throughout the western United States. Currently, these include:

Assessment, development, and comparisons of resource selection methods with GPS and camera trap data sets for multiple species in NE Oregon

Assessment of the effects of climate change on elk nutritional condition at the Starkey Experimental Forest in NE Oregon

Supplement Type and Factors Affecting Use by Cattle in a Mountainous Riparian Pasture

Post-release Survival Rate of Golden Eagles following Clinical Rehabilitation

Modeling elk and deer hunter success using hunter characteristics (e.g., years experience) and behavior (e.g., use of ATVs)

Monitoring Satellite GPS transmitters on wild-tagged Golden Eagles throughout western United States

Analyzing cattle movement, habitat use, and the effects of grazing management on the conservation of riparian areas

Estimating the abundance of feral/wild horses on the Navajo Nation

Assessment, development, and comparisons of resource selection methods with GPS and camera trap data sets for multiple species in NE Oregon

Assessment of the effects of climate change on elk nutritional condition at the Starkey Experimental Forest in NE Oregon

Supplement Type and Factors Affecting Use by Cattle in a Mountainous Riparian Pasture

Wyoming Golden Eagle Monitoring Plan Extension

Modeling black bear habitat use and den site selection

Long-term monitoring of Golden Eagle and Peregrine Falcon breeding populations on one million acres in northern New Mexico

Estimating the effects of using bear feeders to minimize forest damage on private land in Washington state

Assessing wildlife use and efficacy of Natural Resource Damage Assessment habitat improvement projects in Grant County, NM

Conducting IMBCR surveys for breeding bird populations within “Restore New Mexico” treatment areas

Modeling resource selection by black-tailed deer in Washington state

Modeling caribou diet and nutrition in Canada
