Biography

Deborah Rose is a Post-Masters Research Associate for the Coastal Sciences Division of Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, located in the Seattle office. She has been working for the lab since March 2019, when she started part-time as an intern while she finished her Masters from the University of Washington. Her research involved studying beaver and salmon habitat in northern CA to inform restoration plans. She worked closely with ranchers, scientists, and land managers (tribal and non-tribal) to develop a spatial model of priority restoration sites for beaver dam analogues, based solely on remotely sensed landscape characteristics.

Deborah's favorite way to do science is deeply integrated with stakeholder concerns and capacities, and presented in an approachable and useable manner. She hopes to continue developing her technical skills at PNNL while exploring the connections between science, industry, recreation, policy, and community.
