Richard D Inman, PhD
Rich Inman is a biologist at the Fort Collins Science Center, whose research spans the intersection of geographic information science, landscape ecology and conservation biology.
I address broad questions about the mechanisms influencing patterns of biodiversity, such as how ecological processes and land management actions can alter habitat and species distributions through time. A key goal of my work is to provide a scientifically rigorous basis for spatially explicit natural resource management decisions; therefore, my research interests are driven largely by the information needs of regional conservation efforts and planning agencies.
