Current Research Interests:

Noah is studying the causes of human-wildlife conflict for bears, deer, elk, and moose in the greater Bozeman area. Using data from conflict calls he and other Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks (FWP) personnel respond to, he is working to understand what environmental and anthropogenic factors lead to increased human-wildlife conflict. In addition, he is looking at how specific development types are associated with increased conflict.
