T.J. Clark-Wolf

T.J. Clark-Wolf is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Wildland Resources at Utah State University's College of Natural Resources, affiliated with the Ecology Center. His research integrates fieldwork, ecological theory, and quantitative methods to address conservation challenges shaped by human impacts.

Educational Background:

• PhD in Fish and Wildlife Biology, University of Montana (2021)
• MS in Ecology and Environmental Biology, University of Glasgow (2017)
• BA in Zoology/Neuroscience, Ohio Wesleyan University (2015)

Clark-Wolf's lab investigates how anthropogenic processes alter ecological interactions, evolutionary dynamics, and population persistence across diverse taxa, including migratory seabirds and large carnivores. His work emphasizes applied solutions for wildlife conservation in rapidly changing environments.

He teaches courses such as WILD 6900 - Applied Bayesian Analysis of Ecological Data and WILD 3810 - Wildlife Population Ecology, focusing on quantitative approaches for ecological challenges.

Key Research Themes:

• Anthropogenic impacts on wildlife populations
• Bayesian statistical modeling in ecology
• Population and community dynamics
• Conservation strategies for large carnivores and seabirds
