For more than 30 years Mr Romey has been conducting statistical study design and analyses of complex environmental data for a broad range of clients. His experience and familiarity with a variety of fish-habitat statistical study designs allows customized sampling designs for specific project needs. The focus of his expertise is primarily related to fish-habitat, riparian, and water quality studies.  Romey works with a diverse group of forest and conservation managers that include contracts with federal, state, tribal, and private entities. For example, over the last 10 years he has developed the first high-resolution liDAR statistical models that predict specific salmon and trout habitat quality and population extent for Alaska. In addition, he is a leader in using liDAR in study designs for the analysis of canopy gap size, frequency, and distribution over stream and in riparian forests. His innovative statistical study designs and analysis of complex environmental data are the foundation of assessments and modeling that are currently implemented by federal, state, tribal, and private natural resource managers for best management and conservation practices.
