Sarah Bassing is a quantitative ecologist who uses statistical methods to understand animal behavior and population dynamics, often integrating concepts from carnivore ecology, spatial ecology, and predator-prey theory into her work. Her research interests are diverse but tend to focus on animal space-use, species interactions, and anthropogenic impacts on wildlife. Sarah uses a combination of fieldwork, R programming, and statistics in her research, all with the aim of answering conservation-oriented questions. She has worked across the western US and beyond, studying the effects of harvest on wolves to the impacts of wildfire smoke on free-living wildlife and more. When she's not sciencing, Sarah enjoys traveling, baking, pottery, and hiking with her husband and dog.
