Michael L. Jones
Professor and Acting Chairperson, Department of Fisheries and Wildlife; Co-Director, Quantitative Fisheries Center

I teach and conduct research in fish population dynamics and ecology, resource management, and simulation modeling. I am especially interested in how uncertainty and risk affect resource management decision-making. I work closely with fishery management agencies to apply my research findings to current and emerging management issues. Together with Co-Director Jim Bence I established the Quantitative Fisheries Center in 2005 to facilitate this relationship and foster better management of fisheries, especially in the Great Lakes region..
