Scott Harrison

Scott Harrison is a terrestrial ecologist interested in applying the concepts of ecological resilience and Adaptive Management to improve the sustainable use of natural resources. His research has focused on wildlife and the ecosystems that support wildlife populations. Scott has studied a variety of species but is particularly interested in large carnivores and the dynamics of predator-prey systems. His landscape-level research with comparative treatments provided field data to support quantitative population models in an Adaptive Management framework so that decision-makers could test the effects of different resource-use scenarios.

Along with his ecological research, Scott draws on his experiences in business and government to examine the suite of ecological, economic, and social opportunities and constraints that drive decisions about resource use.
