Doug Braun

Dr. Braun’s research program aims to understand how environmental variation, from both natural and anthropogenic sources, shapes salmon populations and their habitat. Specifically, his research focuses on: 1) how habitat variation within and among systems drives the dynamics and life-history of salmon populations; 2) how forestry activities impact stream ecosystems; and 3) developing tools that inform cost-effective monitoring of habitats and populations. He primarily works at the stream/population level and conducts large-scale field studies. His program delivers science advice to habitat managers to assist in monitoring and assessing impacts to freshwater habitat.
