Office of the Director

As the director of the Pacific Southwest Research Station, Dr. Stouder leads the efforts of 52 agency scientists working in California, Hawaii and U.S.-affiliated Pacific Islands. She came to the Station from the agency’s headquarters, where she was first an assistant director for the watershed, fish, wildlife, air and rare plants staff within the national forest deputy area, and then national director for environmental sciences research within the research and development deputy area. She joined the Forest Service in 1998 as manager of the aquatic and land interactions research and development program at the Pacific Northwest Research Station based in Olympia, Wash.

Before joining the Forest Service, Stouder was a unit leader within the U.S. Geological Survey’s cooperative fish and wildlife research program in Ohio. She was also an assistant professor in the Department of Zoology at Ohio State University from 1994 to 2000 and a University of Washington research professor from 1990 to 1994.
