Testimonials

From a summary of Michael Hoff’s award presented in the U.S. Capitol by the Reduce Risks from Invasive Species Coalition (https://www.rrisc.org/best-practices/):

​

“Best Practice in Risk Management:

Michael Hoff: …On top of leading many initiatives to combat AIS, his recent development of an invasive species rapid risk assessment tool stands out among the rest. This tool uses 16 climate variables, analyzed simultaneously with a statistical algorithm to evaluate the habitats and range of nonnative species around the world and compare them to US ecosystems for vulnerability to invasion. Mike’s development of enhanced screening is bringing fundamental changes to the way scientists identify and evaluate AIS and other harmful organisms.”
