Dr. Dana Bauer is an interdisciplinary researcher with particular interests in conservation and sustainability. She applies economic and ecological theory towards the assessment of ecosystem services and the analysis of policies and programs that aim to protect them. Her current research focuses on: (1) the willingness of farmers to participate in habitat and water conservation programs, (2) the valuation of pollination and pest control services provided by insects and other mobile organisms, (3) the conservation and management of vernal pools and other small natural features that provide large ecosystem functions, and (4) the valuation of benefits provided by riparian and estuarine buffers. Her research has been funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the Environmental Protection Agency, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and the National Science Foundation. She has been at Clark since 2015.
