Profile

OTO’s ecological and wetlands work is headed by Jeff Park, whose rigorous approach to ecological science differentiates the company’s services. Jeff’s combination of experience and education permits him to provide OTO’s clients with an informed understanding of their project’s ecological context, while at the same time giving them the opportunity to work creatively to achieve their project goals.

Jeff’s ecological studies stress the development of quantitative measures and the use of statistical tools to identify significant findings and discern trends within data sets. Depending on the project objectives a study may include: (1) the observation of spatial and temporal patterns in abundance and composition of species present; (2) the identification of abiotic interactions often including a biostatistical analyses, which incorporates univariate and multivariate methods; and (3) the calculation of risk to ecological receptors.
