Simeon Yurek, Ph.D.
Simeon Yurek is a Research Ecologist at the USGS Wetland and Aquatic Research Center.
RESEARCH INTERESTS:
Identifying optimal strategies for restoration decision making and adaptation planning in coastal areas, given uncertainty in environmental conditions and risk tolerance of decision makers
Ecological modeling of hydrologically pulsed ecosystems with complex geomorphology, dynamic food webs, animal movement, and predator-prey systems
Ensemble-style modeling of alternative scenarios of biophysical and ecological conditions and management decision making, with a goal of predicting ecological outcomes and identifying tradeoffs and risks associated with ecosystem services of interest
Science and Products
Resource concentration mechanisms facilitate foraging success in simulations of a pulsed oligotrophic wetland
Spatially explicit modeling in ecology: A review
Persistence and diversity of directional landscape connectivity improves biomass pulsing in expanding and contracting wetlands
Equation-free modeling unravels the behavior of complex ecological systems
Proposed best modeling practices for assessing the effects of ecosystem restoration on fish
Simulating mechanisms for dispersal, production and stranding of small forage fish in temporary wetland habitats
