Oklahoma NSF EPSCoR Researchers:
Exploring Socio-Ecological Systems' Adaptation to Climate Variability

Dr. Mark Payton has spent more than twenty years working collaboratively with researchers at Oklahoma State University, as well as universities across the country and the world.  He specializes in the design and analysis of biological experiments, especially those in the agricultural, veterinary and medical sciences. 

These collaborations have spurred interest in categorical data, nonparametric methods, experimental design, and exact methods.

He has also worked on the application of statistics in the analysis of sports data. Most recently, Dr. Payton has started working on survey sampling issues as they relate to political polling and the prediction of national election results, as well as other issue in political science, such as election forensics and the modeling of congressional turnover.

Dr. Payton is currently involved with an Oklahoma NSF EPSCoR climate variability research project that addresses three research objectives, including:

  1. Establishment of a first-of-its-kind, statewide, socio-ecological observatory;
  2. Development of a fully integrated socio-ecological modeling and prediction system that is designed to integrate qualitative and quantitative approaches and to systematically examine insights from both disciplinary and integrated perspectives;
  3. Development of a pilot decision-support system that provides researchers, educators and practitioners with data, models, tools and scenarios that are needed to explore and understand the social and ecological impacts of management and policy decisions.
