Ben is a longtime Alaska resident and has been working in GIS in some capacity for 15 years, including as a Spatial Ecologist with Audubon Alaska. He holds an MS in Conservation Biology & Sustainable Development from the University of Wisconsin and is currently completing his PhD in Environmental and Forest Sciences at the University of Washington. Fieldwork has taken him from east Africa to central China and, more recently, the North Slope, the North Cascades, and Denali National Park & Preserve. His publications are similarly varied but revolve around themes of spatial conservation, climate change, and movement ecology.
When not playing with maps, Ben can be found exploring Alaska’s mountains, coastlines, and rivers. He is an avid backcountry skier, packrafter, and hunter, and is slowly but surely building a cabin on the Kenai Peninsula along with his wife and their retired (and famous) sled dog Prusik.
Tell the U.S. Forest Service and the USDA to halt the removal of protections for the Tongass National Forest and include Tribal Governments in a new rule-making process.
