Catherine Haase

I have lived in many states and have worked in many different ecological systems, from moose in upstate New York to wolves in Yellowstone National Park to manatees in the Florida Everglades! My excitement about ecology and mammalogy stems from my background - I grew up hiking and camping in the woods of northern New Jersey with my family and the local Girl Scout troop. My interest in the outdoors lead me to a small college in Maine, which started my career in wildlife ecology. From Maine, I pursued my MS degree studying moose in the Adirondacks of New York, then got a job studying ticks in the Hudson Valley, which lead to a project with wolves in Yellowstone National Park. I received my Ph.D. from the University of Florida (GO GATORS!) studying behavioral thermoregulation of the Florida manatee. Finally, I did my post-doctoral research at Montana State University studying the energetics of white-nose syndrome in western bat species.
