Dr. Christina Eisenberg, a Ph.D. graduate from Oregon State University, will talk about her recently completed doctoral dissertation on the complex food web of fire, aspen, elk and wolves in Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park. Dr. Eisenberg's research focuses on the impacts of predator presence on prey behavior and how the food chain interacts with fire to shape vegetation communities in Waterton-Glacier.

Christina Eisenberg currently has a post-doctoral appointment at OSU where she will continue her dissertation work. She comes from a ranching background and lives in a remote cabin in northwestern Montana. Dr. Eisenberg's other interests include writing, teaching and hunting and she is currently at work on her second book about the ecology and public policy underlying large carnivore conservation in the West.
