Pat Anderson is a biologist whose research seeks to advance the understanding of sagebrush plant communities and how natural drivers and management practices influence long-term change. Pat leads the USGS science team in support of the Wyoming Landscape Conservation Initiative (WLCI). Pat also serves on the WLCI interagency coordination Team. His science focuses on evaluating the effectiveness of habitat treatments and restoration of sagebrush and aspen communities. Pat is also interested in collaborative conservation partnerships, improving stakeholder engagement, and developing approaches to advance the co-design and coproduction of science to make it more accessible and usable. These interests are applied to the WLCI but also put into practice by being a member of the USGS Actionable and Strategic Integrated Science and Technology (ASIST) team. The ASIST team is a landscape scale project to accelerate interdisciplinary science and application of advanced technology for stakeholder-driven challenges in the Colorado River Basin.
