Biography

Dr. Randall M. Peterman was one of the two founding faculty members (along with Dr. Chad Day) of the Master of Resource Management (MRM) program when it opened in 1979. The program was renamed the School of Resource and Environmental Management (REM) in 1990.

Randall held a Canada Research Chair in 鈥淔isheries Risk Assessment and Management鈥� from 2001 through 2012 and specialized in quantitative methods to improve fisheries management. His research focused on: (1) fish population dynamics, (2) uncertainties affecting conservation risks and management decisions, and (3) reducing uncertainties. He used large data sets, simulations models, Bayesian statistics, and formal decision analysis.

Peer recognition for his research includes the 1990 J.C. Stevenson Award for 鈥溾�reative research on the cutting edge of an aquatic discipline.鈥� Awards include the 2012 award for the 鈥淪econd-best paper鈥� in Computer Graphics Forum (Proceedings of the 2012 Eurographics Conference on Visualization, Vienna, Austria), 2006 Robert L. Kendall 鈥淏est Paper Award鈥� for the Transactions of the American Fisheries Society (134:86), 鈥淭he Most Significant Paper in the North American J. of Fisheries Management鈥� (1992, 12:1), and the 1994 W.F. Thompson Award (American Institute of Fisheries Research Biologists) for 鈥淭he Best Student Paper鈥� (Canadian J. of Fish. & Aquatic Sci. 49:1294).

In 1990, Randall won 大象传媒鈥檚 Excellence in Teaching Award. He has co-chaired a panel for the Canadian Global Change Program of the Royal Society of Canada.
