Professional Summary

Andrew Kasner, Ph.D., is an assistant professor of wildlife and rangeland ecology and management at the Texas A&M AgriLife Research & Extension Center at San Angelo. His research is focused on wildlife-habitat relationships in the context of semi-arid rangelands and energy-dominated landscapes. His research seeks to address questions on wildlife interactions and habitat use relative to grazing systems and fire; and managing and/or restoring rangeland systems to benefit wildlife conservation within renewable energy production areas in relation to industry needs and state and federal policy. He is also interested in the ecology and conservation of songbirds (especially grassland and shrubland birds) and charadriiform waterbirds (terns, plovers and sandpipers).
