This will be a w ide ranging talk exploring the insights and challenges of practicing appli ed science and utilizing decision theory to aid natural resource managemen t. I'll begin with an overview of my career\, an explanation of structured decision making\, and the flavors of applied science I practice. From the re\, based on audience participation \, I will provide greater detail on s ome selected applications and case studies of interest. Potential case stu dies address monitoring design\, emergency management of endangered specie s\, stakeholder engagement in decision processes\, trade-off analysis\, al location of fish in a stocking program\, predicting population viability\, conducting expert elicitation of climate impacts on species persistence\, and more.
