Krishna Pacifici

Bio

Krishna uses geospatial analytics to understand the effects of environmental stressors and disturbances on ecological populations and communities. He develops dynamic models to identify the underlying mechanisms and responses of ecological systems to stressors. His interests include making conservation and management decisions in the face of uncertainty and the application of quantitative methods to solve real world problems.
