Jennifer’s research focuses on how to improve the efficiency and sustainability of natural resource management. She strives to inform on-the-ground decision-making and works closely with state and federal resource managers to design and evaluate conservation policies. She frequently collaborates with researchers in other fields, such as ecology, oceanography, and climatology. Her inter-disciplinary training makes her a particularly effective and valued member of these teams.

Her research has also been featured in The Atlantic, The Associated Press, The Washington Post, The Economist, National Geographic, Scientific American, and Smithsonian Magazine, as well as major international news outlets. Two of her publications (Lynham et al. 2020 and Raynor et al. 2021) rank in the top 0.5% of all research outputs ever scored for online attention by Altmetric; the latter paper ranks in the top 100 for outputs of a similar age.
