Professional Title
Avian Ecologist
Dr. Bracey is an avian ecologist who is interested in studying the impacts of human activities on bird populations. Bracey’s aim is to integrate ecology, biology, and conservation sciences to better inform management decisions associated with avian populations. Much of Bracey’s research is focused on conservation and management of wetland birds and waterbirds breeding in the Great Lakes region.
