Originally hailing from Boulder, CO, Douglas graduated from Oregon State University with a B.S. in Environmental Science focusing on Terrestrial Ecosystems and GIS. After graduating, he moved to Seattle to work for the American Red Cross as an AmeriCorps member working in disaster services. While there, he provided preparedness training to underserved and vulnerable populations. His main interest includes disturbance ecology and spatial modeling, and is excited to begin combining these disciplines in his research. When not in the lab, Douglas is an avid climber and mountaineer, but is happy as long as he is moving.
