MY OVERALL OBJECTIVE IS TO PREDICT THE PROBABILITY OF POPULATION PERSISTENCE UNDER A SUITE OF POTENTIAL MANAGEMENT SCENARIOS FOR 31 CARIBOU POPULATIONS THROUGHOUT ARCTIC-BOREAL NORTH AMERICA AND TO USE THESE RESULTS TO INFORM HARVEST RATES AND CARIBOU MANAGEMENT IN THE FUTURE. TO ACCOMPLISH THIS OBJECTIVE I WILL (1) OBTAIN CARIBOU DEMOGRAPHY DATA FROM 31 SEPARATE POPULATIONS OF CARIBOU THROUGHOUT THE ARCTIC-BOREAL REGION OF NORTH AMERICA (2) INTEGRATE THESE DATA WITH NASA DERIVED DATA ON ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS ACROSS THE SAME SPATIAL EXTENT TO MODEL CARIBOU SURVIVAL THROUGHOUT THE REGION AND (3) INCORPORATE ALL OF THESE DATA INTO AN INTEGRATED POPULATION MODEL WHICH WILL PROVIDE THE FRAMEWORK FOR THE POPULATION VIABILITY ANALYSIS. MY RESULTS WILL HELP DETERMINE THE BEST COMBINATION OF RECOVERY STRATEGIES HABITAT PREDATOR MANAGEMENT AND HARVEST PRESCRIPTIONS TO ACHIEVE CARIBOU POPULATION VIABILITY FOR CARIBOU THROUGHOUT THE ARCTIC-BOREAL REGION. THIS RESEARCH WILL ALSO CONTRIBUTE TO ADVANCING KNOWLEDGE ON HUMAN INTERACTION WITH ECOSYSTEM CHANGE THROUGH HARVEST. MY PROPOSAL TO LINK LARGE SCALE NASA ENVIRONMENTAL DATA WITH CARIBOU DEMOGRAPHY DATA TO ASSESS THE CARIBOU POPULATION VIABILITY REPRESENTS AN INTEGRATIVE NOVEL APPROACH TO UNDERSTANDING A RAPIDLY CHANGING ECOSYSTEM.
