Katy Goodwin
(She/Her)I am a Biologist at the Olympic Field Station, part of the USGS Forest and Rangeland Ecosystem Science Center.
My research focuses on wildlife populations and ecosystems of the Pacific Northwest. I work in close collaboration with tribal, state, and federal agency partners on diverse projects such as evaluating habitat associations of fishers, documenting terrestrial mammal communities using camera traps, and analyzing acoustic survey data to understand spatial and temporal patterns of bat activity.
