problems. Most of my work has been in policy and legislation but focuses on synthesizing the relevant scientific, cultural and economic information while facilitating interest groups to reach a negotiated set of management changes. For example, my graduate research and later professional work focused on how to reduce commercial shipping impacts on endangered whales off the coast of California. Management solutions were informed by a stakeholder group of marine biologists and ecologists, acousticians, environmental advocacy groups, federal and state government agencies, and shipping industry representatives. I am especially interested in exploring ways to bring traditionally oppositional sides together to realize environmental, economic and social\/cultural\u00a0benefits.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2019\/12\/John-Gutrich-SOU-Environmental-Science-Wilson.webp 1050w,https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2019\/12\/John-Gutrich-SOU-Environmental-Science-Wilson-300x129.webp 300w,https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2019\/12\/John-Gutrich-SOU-Environmental-Science-Wilson-1030x441.webp 1030w,https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2019\/12\/John-Gutrich-SOU-Environmental-Science-Wilson-768x329.webp 768w,https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2019\/12\/John-Gutrich-SOU-Environmental-Science-Wilson-705x302.webp 705w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1050px) 100vw, 1050px\" type=\"image\/webp\"><img src=\"https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2019\/12\/John-Gutrich-SOU-Environmental-Science-Wilson.jpg\" height=\"450\" width=\"1050\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2019\/12\/John-Gutrich-SOU-Environmental-Science-Wilson.jpg 1050w, https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2019\/12\/John-Gutrich-SOU-Environmental-Science-Wilson-300x129.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2019\/12\/John-Gutrich-SOU-Environmental-Science-Wilson-1030x441.jpg 1030w, https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2019\/12\/John-Gutrich-SOU-Environmental-Science-Wilson-768x329.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2019\/12\/John-Gutrich-SOU-Environmental-Science-Wilson-705x302.jpg 705w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1050px) 100vw, 1050px\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-71021 size-full sp-no-webp\" alt=\"John Gutrich SOU Environmental Science Wilson\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"  > <\/picture><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"heavy-man\">John Gutrich<\/span><br \/>\nMy current research addresses ecological-economic modeling of control efforts for Rapid Ohia Death (from Ceratocystis sp.) in the Hawaiian islands.

My research emphasizes the integration of physical and climatic factors to explore how landscapes\u2014particularly rivers, deltas, and wetlands\u2014respond to key drivers like sea-level rise, changing precipitation patterns, and human impacts. I investigate upland watershed responses to climate change, the evolution of river channels due to tectonics and sediment transport, and the interactions between sediment and hydrology that shape estuarine ecosystems. By combining fieldwork, remote sensing, and numerical modeling, I aim to close knowledge gaps in Earth surface processes over varying spatial and temporal scales.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/12\/Karen-Mager-SOU-Environmental-Science-Professor-Research.webp 1200w,https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/12\/Karen-Mager-SOU-Environmental-Science-Professor-Research-300x129.webp 300w,https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/12\/Karen-Mager-SOU-Environmental-Science-Professor-Research-1030x441.webp 1030w,https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/12\/Karen-Mager-SOU-Environmental-Science-Professor-Research-768x329.webp 768w,https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/12\/Karen-Mager-SOU-Environmental-Science-Professor-Research-705x302.webp 705w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" type=\"image\/webp\"><img src=\"https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/12\/Karen-Mager-SOU-Environmental-Science-Professor-Research.jpg\" height=\"514\" width=\"1200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/12\/Karen-Mager-SOU-Environmental-Science-Professor-Research.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/12\/Karen-Mager-SOU-Environmental-Science-Professor-Research-300x129.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/12\/Karen-Mager-SOU-Environmental-Science-Professor-Research-1030x441.jpg 1030w, https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/12\/Karen-Mager-SOU-Environmental-Science-Professor-Research-768x329.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/12\/Karen-Mager-SOU-Environmental-Science-Professor-Research-705x302.jpg 705w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-84778 sp-no-webp\" alt=\"Dr Karen Mager SOU Environmental Science Professor Researching\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"  > <\/picture><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"heavy-man\">Karen Mager<\/span><br \/>\nKaren\u2019s research aims to improve the management and conservation of mammals by providing scientific knowledge of wildlife populations. Her research on caribou investigates how historical population dynamics and landscape features shape the genetic diversity and connectivity of caribou herds in Alaska and the Yukon. Her research has contributed to delineation of conservation units in caribou and, in combination with local indigenous knowledge research, had identified evidence of hybridization between domestic reindeer. In southern Oregon, she works with a coalition of partners to monitor wildlife along the Interstate 5 corridor in order to plan for construction of a new wildlife overpass and to evaluate its effectiveness. From small mammal live-trapping to beaver monitoring and non-invasive DNA sampling, she loves to train undergraduates in field research methods.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2019\/12\/Dr-Vincent-Smith-SOU-Environmental-Science-Program-Research.webp 700w,https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2019\/12\/Dr-Vincent-Smith-SOU-Environmental-Science-Program-Research-300x129.webp 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" type=\"image\/webp\"><img src=\"https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2019\/12\/Dr-Vincent-Smith-SOU-Environmental-Science-Program-Research.jpg\" height=\"300\" width=\"700\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2019\/12\/Dr-Vincent-Smith-SOU-Environmental-Science-Program-Research.jpg 700w, https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2019\/12\/Dr-Vincent-Smith-SOU-Environmental-Science-Program-Research-300x129.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-71024 size-full sp-no-webp\" alt=\"Dr. Vincent Smith SOU Environmental Science Program Research\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"  > <\/picture><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"heavy-man\">Vincent Smith<\/span><br \/>\nMy research explores the complex interactions between human behavior and ecosystem function. I employ tools from environmental sociology, human ecology, agroecology, and sustainability science to better understand how to promote human behaviors that benefit ecosystem function. I am currently conducting research in two areas. First, I work with the Rogue Valley Food System Network to explore the impact of the cannabis industry on the region&#8217;s food system and environment. Second, I am working with collaborators in Mexico to assess the economic and ecological impacts of macroalgae formation in the Caribbean. In addition, I have recently co-authored a USDA grant to explore regenerative cover cropping and tillage in test plots at The Farm at SOU. I welcome interested undergraduate students to work with me as research assistants.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2019\/12\/Dr-Jamie-Trammell-SOU-Environmental-Science-Program.webp 1200w,https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2019\/12\/Dr-Jamie-Trammell-SOU-Environmental-Science-Program-300x129.webp 300w,https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2019\/12\/Dr-Jamie-Trammell-SOU-Environmental-Science-Program-1030x442.webp 1030w,https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2019\/12\/Dr-Jamie-Trammell-SOU-Environmental-Science-Program-768x330.webp 768w,https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2019\/12\/Dr-Jamie-Trammell-SOU-Environmental-Science-Program-705x303.webp 705w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" type=\"image\/webp\"><img src=\"https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2019\/12\/Dr-Jamie-Trammell-SOU-Environmental-Science-Program.jpg\" height=\"515\" width=\"1200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2019\/12\/Dr-Jamie-Trammell-SOU-Environmental-Science-Program.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2019\/12\/Dr-Jamie-Trammell-SOU-Environmental-Science-Program-300x129.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2019\/12\/Dr-Jamie-Trammell-SOU-Environmental-Science-Program-1030x442.jpg 1030w, https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2019\/12\/Dr-Jamie-Trammell-SOU-Environmental-Science-Program-768x330.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2019\/12\/Dr-Jamie-Trammell-SOU-Environmental-Science-Program-705x303.jpg 705w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-71026 size-full sp-no-webp\" alt=\"Dr. Jamie Trammell SOU Environmental Science Program\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"  > <\/picture><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"heavy-man\">Jamie Trammell<\/span><br \/>\nI am a landscape ecologist interested in modeling landscape change with an explicit focus on the integration of socioeconomic and biophysical drivers. I am particularly interested in modeling alternative futures in order to better understand how various landscape drivers combine to determine the future conditions of both terrestrial and aquatic systems. I continually work to translate disparate data sources (from climate to social to economic to ecological) into a common geospatial framework for landscape-level analyses, and I have experience in modeling aquatic and terrestrial systems within a GIS to facilitate visualization and communication.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/12\/Chhaya-Werner-SOU-Environment-Science-Professor-Research.webp 1200w,https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/12\/Chhaya-Werner-SOU-Environment-Science-Professor-Research-300x129.webp 300w,https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/12\/Chhaya-Werner-SOU-Environment-Science-Professor-Research-1030x441.webp 1030w,https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/12\/Chhaya-Werner-SOU-Environment-Science-Professor-Research-768x329.webp 768w,https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/12\/Chhaya-Werner-SOU-Environment-Science-Professor-Research-705x302.webp 705w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" type=\"image\/webp\"><img src=\"https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/12\/Chhaya-Werner-SOU-Environment-Science-Professor-Research.jpg\" height=\"514\" width=\"1200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/12\/Chhaya-Werner-SOU-Environment-Science-Professor-Research.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/12\/Chhaya-Werner-SOU-Environment-Science-Professor-Research-300x129.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/12\/Chhaya-Werner-SOU-Environment-Science-Professor-Research-1030x441.jpg 1030w, https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/12\/Chhaya-Werner-SOU-Environment-Science-Professor-Research-768x329.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/12\/Chhaya-Werner-SOU-Environment-Science-Professor-Research-705x302.jpg 705w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-84777 sp-no-webp\" alt=\"Dr Chhaya Werner SOU Environment Science Professor Researching\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"  > <\/picture><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"heavy-man\">Chhaya Werner<\/span><br \/>\nI study how disturbances such as drought and fire interact to shape our forests, grasslands, and chaparral ecosystems, and how interactions between plant species drive community responses to disturbance.
