Natasha B Carr, PhD
Natasha Carr is a Scientist Emeritus at the Fort Collins Science Center. Natasha's research interests include applications of landscape, community, and fire ecology to multiscale land management issues.
Natasha Carr began as a research scientist with the US Fish and Wildlife Service in 1990 and converted to the U.S. Geological Survey in 1994. Her research interests include applications of landscape, community, and fire ecology to multiscale land management issues. A key component of her work includes developing science applications and practical tools for natural resource managers and policy makers. Current projects include developing innovative approaches for conducting broad-scale assessments and streamlining the NEPA process. Since 1986, she has authored or coauthored over 50 publications and associated USGS datasets.
