Dr. Mira Mishkin

Mira is a Geographer and Interdisciplinary Ecologist who is broadly interested in understanding how how to understand, predict, and monitor complex human-ecological systems. She focuses primarily on Bayesian modeling and decision science. She is currently active in using Bayesian Causal Networks to understand protected area management in the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve. The primary goal of her research is to refine methods to predict how particular variables interact in complex systems to provide intervention foci and efficient management monitoring over the short and long term.

Before joining CWS, Mira worked as a faculty member at Unity College and as a Postdoctoral Scholar at the University of Florida and Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México as a CONACYT fellow. She is a lecturer III at the University of Southern Maine and is a Subject Matter Expert for various universities.
