RANDALL B. BOONE EDUCATION Ph.D., Wildlife Ecology, University of Maine, Orono, Maine, 1996 M.S., Wildlife Management, University of Maine, Orono, Maine, 1991 B.S., Wildlife Science, Oregon State University, Corvallis, Oregon, 1986

SUMMARY OF QUALIFICATIONS Randall Boone has been a Research Scientist at the Natural Resource Ecology Laboratory, Colorado State University for more than a decade, and is a half-time Associate Professor within the Department of Ecosystem Science and Sustainability. He has acquired more than $1.5 million in external funding for research and education as Principle Investigator (PI), and $8.2 million as Co-PI. He has published 50 referred papers and 15 book chapters on topics ranging from agent-based modeling of pastoralists, wildlife, livestock, and plants, to habitat selection by animals, telemetry, remote sensing, effects of fragmentation, and ecosystem simulation. He has conducted research in Colorado, other states, and internationally, including in Kenya, Tanzania, South Africa, Mali, Tibet, and elsewhere. Dr. Boone has taught four courses as part of his professorship. PROFESSIONAL HISTORY 2010 Present Dr. Boone is a member of the newest department within the Warner College of Natural Resources, and teaches several courses as part of his half-time appointment. His teaching and service are reviewed here. Every other year, Boone teaches NR / ANTH 554, Ecological and Social Agentbased Modeling. That course instructs natural resource and anthropology graduate students on the theory, application, construction, and analysis of agent-based simulations. Boone taught NR 505, Concepts of Geographic Information Systems, which instructs graduate students in spatial analysis techniques. Boone teaches NR 322, Introduction to Geographic Information Systems, instructing undergraduates in spatial analyses. The last course he has taught was done jointly with Dr. David Swift, NR 581A2, Ecology and Society in Semi-arid Africa. Boone serves on several laboratory, departmental, and campus-wide committees, and does outreach with local secondary and middle school teachers, pastoralists, and others.

2000 Present

Dr. Boone has and continues to lead research in a variety of topics. Selected projects are reviewed here. He is the PI in an National Science Foundation (NSF) supported research project known as Gnu Landscapes. That project is exploring how fragmentation and climate change affect herbivore movements. Boone and a group of other CSU, Maine, and Kenyan researchers have collared 36 wildebeest in southwestern Kenya. The team has collected more than 300,000 locations reflecting habitat choices the animals have made. Researchers at the University of Maine are forecasting future landscape fragmentation. The CSU team will use that information plus land cover information and the collar data to inform an agent-based model of wildebeest movements. Changes in the hydrology of lakes in Mali are the focus of another NSF supported research project. Dr. Boone and CSU colleagues are working with lead scientists from South Dakota State University and others in Mali to understand how drought, livestock, and pastoral settlement patterns influenced the changing of a seasonal lake into a perennial lake. Dr. Boone works with a large team of researchers studying rates of diseases spread in an NSF supported project focused upon chronic wasting disease in mule deer of Larimer County, Colorado. We capture ca. 150 deer annually, collar them, and test them for the disease. We recapture the same deer in following years, and retest the animals for disease. With the detailed information on disease spread, advanced disease modeling will be conducted. Management and fragmentation in pastoral landscapes is a focus of Dr. Boones research. In Samburu, Kenya, he works with a colleague from Washington University, St. Louis, to understand how the subdivision of once communal land is affecting pastoral people. Dr. Boone works with a team analyzing the responses of Tibetan rangelands to restocking programs following severe spring storms. Dr. Boone has programmed G-Range, a global rangeland simulation tool based on logic used in simulation models Century and Savanna, plus new material. In an effort supported by the International Livestock Research Institute, the moderate complexity simulation is being used to study global effects of climate change on rangelands, carbon sequestration, and forage production. Dr. Boone advises students studying habitat selection in desert big horn sheep and prey use by mountain lions in Colorado. Boone also supports local teachers in curriculum development used to teach students about climate change using NASA remotely sensed data sets.

Richard T. Conant Dr. Richard Conants research focuses on understanding the feedbacks between human activities and ecosystem biogeochemistry. Specifically, he is interested in how land use and land management practices impact carbon and nitrogen cycling in agricultural and grassland ecosystems. He believes that knowledge about the relationship between human activities and ecosystem ecology can empower policy makers to make wise decisions with respect to biogeochemistry and ecosystem services. He is involved in efforts to develop indicators of ecological condition for ecosystems close to home and contributes to state, national, and international efforts to develop tools to accurately quantify human impacts on the carbon cycle.

Stephen M. Ogle Natural Resource Ecology Laboratory, Colorado State University, Fort Collins, CO 80523 Dr. Stephen Ogle is an ecosystem research scientist in the Natural Resource Ecology Laboratory and an Associate Professor in the Department of Ecosystem Science and Sustainability at Colorado State University. Dr. Ogle has become a leader in research dealing with assessments of land use and management impacts on biogeochemical processes. Upon arrival at CSU, Dr. Ogles research focused on biogeochemical processes related to greenhouse gas emissions from Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Uses (AFOLU). He has since become an expert on research and application of greenhouse gas inventory methods. He serves as lead compiler for the US national inventory for soil C and N2O emissions from agricultural lands, in addition to the US national representation of land. These inventory products are used for reporting by the US government to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). He has been a lead author on syntheses and reports prepared by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (2006 National Greenhouse Gas Inventory Guidelines and Fourth Assessment Report on Climate Change), and a past member of the scientific steering group for the North American Carbon Program. He also conducts research collaboratively with economists and sociologists to better understand the drivers of land use and management decisions, and predict the likelihood of greenhouse gas mitigation in the future through adoption of conservation practices and bioenergy production in agricultural lands. Dr. Ogle has participated in international capacity-building projects to improve greenhouse gas inventory compilation in Central America, Southeast Asia, and East and South African Countries, providing training and tools on greenhouse gas inventory methods for the AFOLU sector. He has given numerous invited and keynote presentations at meetings for a variety of societies and organizations, such as American Geophysical Union, China Association for Science and Technology, CarboEurope-GHG Program, European Geosciences Union, Subsidiary Body for Scientific and Technological Advice (SBSTA) to the UNFCCC, Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, and US Forest Service. Currently, he is principle investigator on the U.S. national assessment of agricultural land use and management impacts on greenhouse gas emissions of CO2 and N2O, which is used for reporting to the UNFCCC. He has led the synthesis of the Mid-Continent Intensive Campaign for the North American Carbon Program. Dr. Ogle has worked on international syntheses and reports through the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), including the National Greenhouse Gas Inventory Guidelines and Fourth Assessment Report on Climate Change (Mitigation).

SUMMARY OF QUALIFCATIONS (SELECTED) Doctor Swift is currently a participating scientist in a project funded by Higher Education for Development in which we are collaborating with colleagues at the University of Nairobi in the development of a center of excellence in drylands studies at that university. He is also currently involved in collaborative research and educational projects with the Wondo Genet College of Forestry and Natural Resources at Hawassa University in Ethiopia. He has recently been engaged in field work and research

planning in wildlife conservation and evaluation of ecosystem services in Ethiopia. In 2009-2011, he served as a consultant to a firm developing an environmental impact assessment of a proposed artistic installation over the Arkansas River in Colorado (the Over the River Project of the artist Christo). His responsibility in this instance was primarily to evaluate the likely impact of the installation on the health and population responses of the bighorn sheep living in the canyon. Earlier (2002-2003), he was the principle investigator on the POLEYC project through the Global Livestock Collaborative Research Support Program, in which, using techniques of integrated assessment, policy recommendations were formulated aimed at promoting pastoral welfare while minimizing conflicts with wildlife and other conservation endeavors in Kenya and Tanzania. Between 1996 and 2000 he worked, as an ecologist, on a watershed improvement project in the Rif Peninsula of Morocco. The aim of the project was to develop land management measures that would reduce the very rapid erosion within the watershed and the subsequent sedimentation in the downstream reservoir. This project began with a participatory landscape/livescape appraisal (a form of rapid rural appraisal) aimed at determining the factors which were limiting or problematic for the residents (mostly farmers and their families) of the watershed. Based on the results of this appraisal we developed a series of direct and indirect interventions aimed at mitigating the erosion and sedimentation problems within the watershed. From 1980 to 1988 he was a co-principle investigator on the South Turkana Ecosystem Project an NSF funded research project aimed at understanding the dynamics of a dry subsistence pastoral system in Kenya. In particular we were interested in understanding the stability properties of the system, its sustainability or lack thereof and the interacting effects of the people on the ecosystem and of the ecosystem on the people and their society. In 1997-1998 he served as a consultant to the Arid Zone Research Institute in Quetta, Pakistan; charged with improving the ability of that institute to perform research on animal production. This was done through a combination of education of the research personnel at the institute and collaborative development of research projects.
