Christian E Torgersen
I am a Supervisory Research Wildlife Biologist at the Forest and Rangeland Ecosystem Science Center
My research interests include landscape ecology, riverine landscapes, watershed processes, ecological scaling, water quality, fish habitat, land use/land cover change, landscape scenario modeling, spatial analysis, remote sensing and GIS.
