I’m a theoretical ecologist working on the problem of regime shifts and uncertainty in ecological management and conservation. I am currently a post-doc at UC Santa Cruz, where I am developing optimal control approaches to fisheries management that are robust to deep model uncertainty and regime shifts. I am also interested in how methods from informatics and data science may help us bring more and varied data to bear on these problems.
I’m a member and co-founder of ropensci, a developer collective promoting open and reproducible science in the R computational environment. I keep an open lab notebook and have done a few interviews sharing my perspective on open science issues. You can find me on Twitter, Github, and other web habitat under my screen name, cboettig.
