Return to PeopleGary Wockner, Ph.D.
Gary received his Ph.D. in Environmental Geography from the University
of Colorado, Boulder in 1996. Since that time he has applied his skills
to the management of ecological resources for the Chippewa Indian Tribe
of northern Wisconsin, in the Forestry Department at the University
of Wisconsin, and is currently a Research Associate at the Natural Resource
Ecology Laboratory at Colorado State University. Gary has successfully
employed the full range of GIS tools towards diverse natural resource
problems for various state, federal, and international land management
agencies. In previous projects Gary has: - Simulated and mitigated mining impacts on tribal
lands in northern Wisconsin by utilizing three dimensional modeling,
aerial photography, and digital orthophoto quads.
- Integrated satellite imagery, aerial photography,
and historic forest data to predict current forest cover in Wisconsin.
- Predicted snow depths in Grand Teton and Yellowstone
National Parks for various vegetative cover classes based on satellite
imagery and digital elevation models.
- Estimated ungulate carrying capacities within Colorado
based on vegetative cover and ungulate range densities.
Gary is fully versed in ArcView and ArcGIS, and can model within those
environments with the programming languages of Avenue and Visual Basic.
