Michael Hansen
I am a wildlife biologist with FRESC’s Olympic Field Station, located at the headquarters of Olympic National Park in Washington State.
I am a wildlife biologist and field station manager with the USGS Olympic Field Station, where I coordinate wildlife research and monitoring projects focused on bat ecology, conservation, and disease surveillance. I oversee field operations, data collection and analysis, and project logistics, working with federal, state, and tribal partners to address wildlife research questions and support science-based management and conservation efforts for Pacific Northwest wildlife populations and ecosystems.
