Dr. Andersen is currently a post-doctoral researcher at the Laboratory of Animal Communications at Ewha Womans University in Seoul, Republic of Korea. Desiree’s research focuses on ecological modelling with respect to conservation, specifically on species distributions, habitat suitability and population models.
Desiree’s projects include work on a wide range of species such as Asiatic black bears, treefrogs, salamanders and toads. All of Desiree’s publications are listed here, and the ones with the lab below.
Desiree holds a Master’s of Environmental Studies degree from The Evergreen State College in Washington State, USA, where Desiree’s master’s thesis focused on human impacts on understory plant communities on Ulleung Island, Rep. of Korea.
