Summary: Dr. D. Layne Coppock was formally educated as an ecologist with an emphasis on rangeland

ecosystems and large herbivores (i.e., bison, cattle, camels, sheep, goats) in the western United States and

northwestern Kenya. His subsequent professional experiences in Ethiopia, Utah, Bolivia, Kenya, Nepal,

Tanzania, Uganda, and Namibia have helped transform him into an interdisciplinary scholar with a focus on

human problem-solving in pastoral, ranching, and small-farm settings. Dr. Coppock’s work currently includes

themes such as reduction of poverty among rangeland dwellers, assessing rangeland management interventions,

empowerment of rural women, risk management for pastoralists and ranchers, drought preparedness, and

community response to climate change and invasive species.

His research incorporates social and biophysical science methods as well as action-oriented, community

engagement. He has authored or coauthored 77 peer-reviewed publications and book chapters (in print or in

press, with two papers in Science), 132 proceedings papers, research reports, research briefs, and popular

articles, 182 conference presentations and posters, two project synthesis volumes (one as the sole author and

another as the lead co-editor with extensive writing duties), and was the creative force and lead editor for a

special issue of Rangelands (2013) concerning women as change agents in the world’s dry lands. Dr. Coppock

currently has a Hirsch index of 17** and over 9,000 total downloads of non-copyrighted research and outreach

outputs via the Digital Commons at USU ranks among the highest of all USU faculty. Dr. Coppock has

supervised the research of 20 graduate students and three post-doctoral associates while at two institutions,

with 13 graduate students formally supervised while at USU. He has also mentored 58 junior colleagues or

students on a less formal basis worldwide, and this includes helping them co-author 74 publications.

Dr. Coppock has served as the lead PI (principal investigator) for three large research projects while at

USU, one in a two-year stint in the synthesis phase of the SR/GL-CRSP in the Bolivian highlands, another

covering 12 years with the GL-CRSP (PARIMA project) in Kenya and Ethiopia, and another three-year

assignment in Ethiopia with the Feed the Future/Livestock Innovation Lab. He has also recently served as a co-

PI with a Feed the Future/Livestock Innovation Lab project in Nepal and a USDA-NIFA project in Cache

Valley, Utah; both of these three-year projects originated at USU. Upon arrival at USU in 1991 Dr. Coppock

became co-PI with the aforementioned Bolivia project for three years. Besides these mega-project

involvements, Dr. Coppock has played important roles in 11 smaller projects. Dr. Coppock has procured about

US $8.9 million dollars in extramural and intramural funding in support of research, outreach, and training

while at USU, with 81% as the lead PI. He has been a PI with the Utah Agricultural Experiment Station

continuously since 1991, and this has allowed him to pursue domestic research in the Intermountain West.

For teaching, Dr. Coppock has taught 19 different courses at USU from 1992-2019. Current course

topics include global perspectives on people and the environment for undergraduates, human dimensions of

natural resource management for undergraduates, and a graduate orientation seminar. Topics previously taught

have included graduate courses on theory, methods, and applications for human dimensions of ecosystem

research, quantitative assessment for natural resource management, range vegetation analysis, and the

nutritional ecology of range herbivores.

Since 2011 Dr. Coppock has been a faculty advisor for the under-graduate Environmental Studies

major, one of the largest in the QCNR. Distinct service contributions (over 50) have included a variety of on-

and off-campus assignments, with the large majority occurring since 2001. Dr. Coppock served as the interim

associate dean for the QCNR for 2010-1. He has served on 32 USU committees dealing with faculty searches,

faculty promotion and tenure, graduate and under-graduate affairs, and the Institutional Review Board (IRB).

In terms of off-campus service, Dr. Coppock has been actively involved in the International Affairs Committee

(IAC) of the Society for Range Management, serving as chair in 1997-8 and 2014-5.

Dr. Coppock has been fortunate to have received professional recognition for his efforts. This synopsis

begins with international, national, and state-level categories followed by USU-specific categories. In February

2020 Dr. Coppock will receive the W.R. Chapline Stewardship Award, one of the top career recognitions

bestowed by the Society for Range Management. This is given with regards to Dr. Coppock’s use of

participatory action research to empower rangeland users in developing nations over the past 20 years. In 2018

he was nominated by USU for the Utah Governor’s Medal in Science and Technology. During 2016 he was

appointed to two prestigious national and international research committees (APLU and FFAR) in Washington

DC. In 2015 he won two research awards, one on a global scale from USAID (BIFAD Feed the Future for

Research Excellence) for the collective-action portion of the GL-CRSP PARIMA project he directed in

Ethiopia and Kenya from 1997 to 2009, and the other a career award (regional scale) from a professional

society in Ethiopia (ESAP) concerning his 35 years of work in eastern Africa (1980-2015). In 2014 Dr.

Coppock received US national recognition (“gold”) as the lead author of the outstanding paper in a

professional journal for 2013 from a major editorial and publishing association. Dr. Coppock gave the plenary

keynote address at the IX International Rangeland Congress in Rosario, Argentina (2011) and was a co-

recipient of a team gold medal (ESAP) for meritorious service to Ethiopia in 2007 that also occurred in the

context of the GL-CRSP PARIMA project. Early in his career a book that he authored (“The Borana Plateau

of Southern Ethiopia…”) was a finalist for the 1994 King Baudouin Prize (Belgium) in International

Agriculture. This volume was based on work conducted while he was a staff scientist at the International

Livestock Center for Africa (ILCA) from 1985-91. With respect to the USU Quinney College of Natural

Resources, he has been named winner of the Faculty Service Award (2020), Undergraduate Mentor Award

(2019), Faculty Researcher of the Year (2012), and Undergraduate Advisor of the Year (2004).

GRADUATE STUDENTS

Graduate Students Supervised at Utah State University (1992-2018):

Birkenfeld, Alan. 1994. Diversity and innovation adoption among Utah public land permittees. M.

Sc. Thesis, Department of Rangeland Resources. 143 pp. (Recipient of the 1995 Don Dwyer Award

for Excellence in the Department of Rangeland Resources).

Published one paper in a peer-reviewed journal with Birkenfeld. Birkenfeld became a successful

organic producer of beef in Texas after completing his degree.

59

Peterson, Regina. 1997. Coping strategies of Utah grazing permittees under economic and social

pressure. M.Sc. Thesis, Department of Rangeland Resources. 131 pp.

Published one paper in a peer-reviewed journal with Peterson.

Buttolph, Lita. 1998. Rangeland dynamics and pastoral development in the high Andes: The

camelid herders of Cosapa, Bolivia. Ph.D. dissertation, Department of Rangeland Resources. 294

pp. (Recipient of the 1999 Don Dwyer Award for Excellence in the Department of Rangeland

Resources). Published two papers in peer-reviewed journals with Buttolph, plus another article in a popular

magazine on alpaca. She pursued a career as a natural resources consultant in the Pacific Northwest

after completing her degree.

Desta, Solomon. 1999. Diversification of livestock assets for risk management in the Borana

pastoral system of southern Ethiopia. Ph.D. dissertation, Department of Rangeland Resources. 189

pp. Published three papers in peer-reviewed journals with Desta based on his dissertation. As a peer

mentor during Desta’s post-doctoral assignments with USU from 1998-2009, we have published

another paper in a peer-reviewed journal, three book chapters and monographs, as well as 24 research

briefs and proceedings papers. Desta and Coppock have collaborated extensively for many years.

Jacobs, Michael. 1999. Influence of grazing, fire and rainfall regime on plant species dynamics in an

Ethiopian perennial grassland. Ph.D. dissertation, Department of Rangeland Resources. 174 pp.

(Recipient of the 1998 Robins Award for Outstanding Graduate Research Assistant at Utah State

University) Mike Jacobs and his partner, another graduate student named Cathy Schloeder, came to USU with

their own research support and research projects conceptualized. They therefore produced their own

co-authored, peer-reviewed publications following attainment of their degrees. Coppock is not a co-

author on any of these, despite having been Mike’s dissertation supervisor. If Coppock could do this

over again he would have co-authored some work with Mike, but “it is what it is.” There is continuing

collaboration, however. Coppock provided key input in helping Mike secure an influential post with

Texas A&M in Afghanistan, where he and Cathy thrived (amazingly). There has also been

collaboration on a symposium for the Society for Range Management concerning “Women as Change

Agents in the World’s Rangelands,” held in 2013 at Oklahoma City. Coppock was the organizer of that

symposium. Coppock helped Jacobs secure a very influential position in 2015 as Chief of Party for

“PRIME,” a major (mega multi-million dollar) pastoral development project supported USAID in

Ethiopia.

Sainsbury, Louise. 2001. Intensification in a risky environment: The case of improving private

grazing land for beef production in Utah. M.Sc. Thesis, Department of Rangeland Resources. 344 pp.

Published one paper in a peer-reviewed journal with Sainsbury.

Thomas, Marianne. 2006. Building sustainable recreation-planning decisions on federal lands: The

role of “authentic” public participation in southern Utah. M.Sc. Thesis, Department of Environment

and Society. 141 pp.

60

Marianne Thomas had a small, unfunded research project, and the topic was outside of my main area

of expertise. Neither Ms. Thomas, nor a lead expert on the topic from her supervisory committee, have

been able or willing to produce a draft a manuscript from her work.

Kebede, Almaz. 2009. Sustaining the Allideghi grasslands of Ethiopia: Influences of pastoralism

and vegetation change. Ph.D. dissertation, Department of Wildland Resources. 318 pp.

One paper with Kebede has been published with Coppock in a peer-reviewed journal. She now has an

influential post as Coordinator for a regional “Greening of the Horn of Africa” program based in Addis

Ababa. She is one of only a very few female PhDs in Ethiopia today.

Huckett, Stephen. 2010. A comparative study to identify factors affecting adoption of soil and water

conservation practices among smallhold farmers in the Njoro river watershed of Kenya. Ph.D.

dissertation, Department of Environment and Society.

One paper with Huckett for a peer-reviewed journal is currently in preparation. There have been three

papers published in proceedings volumes based on Huckett’s work. Huckett has successfully found

employment in Kenya (research) and Minnesota (watershed management) as a follow-up to his degree.

Fubusa, Yared. 2010. Conservation from the bottom-up: Human, financial, and natural capital as

determinants of resilient livelihoods in Kigoma Rural, Tanzania. Ph.D. dissertation, Department of

Environment and Society.

Fubusa was the founding director of the GOSESO School for Environment and Society in Western

Tanzania. He has pursued his career there since finishing his degree. He has not published papers from

his dissertation.

Thorley, Margaret. 2011. Linked human health and ecological impacts of community design:

Overview of literature and implications for research. M.S. report (Plan B), Department of

Environment and Society.

Meg Thorley undertook a small, unfunded research project (outside of my area of expertise) and the

literature review she prepared for her thesis as the output will not constitute sufficient material for a

peer-reviewed publication. We did, however, collaborate on a review of rangeland drought modeling

and climate-prediction activities for the western US, and we may still develop that into an article

together. Meg pursued a Ph.D. at Cambridge University, UK, following her degree at USU.

McAllister, Jessica. 2015. Human dimensions of solid waste management: Observations from rural

Peru. M.S. report (Plan B). Department of Environment and Society.

Jessica McAllister completed her graduate degree in Human Geography. She was enrolled in the Peace

Corps Master’s International Program. Her thesis topic is based on her time in the field as

61

supplemented by a literature review. Jessica is now pursuing a career in environmental education.

Derr, Thomas. 2018. Climate change perceptions and adaptation among small-scale farmers in

Uganda: A community based approach. M.Sc. research project (plan A). Department of Environment

and Society. Tom Derr has been awarded a graduate degree in Human Geography and was enrolled in the Peace

Corps Master’s International Program. He returned from Uganda in July 2017. He completed his

master’s degree in August, 2018.

Graduate Students Mentored at ILCA (1986-1990)

Holden, Sarah. 1988. Dairy marketing and pastoralism: Implications for development in the

southern Ethiopian rangelands. M.Sc. Thesis. Dept. of Agricultural Economics and Management,

Reading University, United Kingdom. 111 pp. University advisor: Prof. Martin Upton.

Published two papers in peer-reviewed journals with Holden, as well as a conference proceedings

paper. Her university advisor had no involvement in this work. My co-authorship with Holden

illustrates my unusually strong role as her research mentor. Sarah went on to a distinguished career

with DFID (the government international development agency) in the United Kingdom.

Solomon Kebede. 1988. A study of range vegetation at Sarite ranch in southern Ethiopia, with

particular emphasis on the woody shrubs Acacia seyal and Acacia horrida. M.A.Sc. Thesis. Dept. of

Wool and Animal Science, University of New South Wales, Kensington, Australia. 255 pp.

University advisor: Dr. Gordon King.

No published papers came out of the work by this student. Too bad—it was good work. This research

was summarized, however, in Coppock (1994) listed previously.

Yohannes Alemseged. 1989. Introducing tropical legumes into the southern rangelands of Ethiopia.

M.A.Sc. Thesis. Dept. of Wool and Animal Science, University of New South Wales, Kensington,

Australia. 185 pp. University advisor: Dr. Gordon King.

Published two papers in peer-reviewed journals with Alemseged and his university advisor. This

illustrates my unusually strong role as a research mentor.

Tamene Yigezu. 1990. Population dynamics of the problem shrubs Acacia drepanolobium and

Acacia brevispica in the southern rangelands of Ethiopia. M.A.Sc. Thesis. Dept. of Wool and

Animal Science, University of New South Wales, Kensington, Australia. 288 pp. University advisor:

Dr. Gordon King.

No published papers came out of the work by this student. Too bad—it was good work. This research

was summarized, however, in Coppock (1994) listed previously.

62

Mulugeta Assefa. 1990. Borana cattle herds: Productivity, constraints, and possible interventions.

M.Sc. Thesis. Dept. of Range Science, Colorado State University, Fort Collins, Colorado, U.S.A.

155 pp. University advisor: Dr. David Swift.

Coppock published one paper in a peer-reviewed journal and another in a conference proceeding with

Assefa and another former graduate student (Holden). The university advisor had little involvement in

this aspect of his research work. This illustrates my unusually strong role as a research mentor.

Menwyelet Atsedu. 1990. Ecology of calf pastures and supplementary feeding by Borana

pastoralists of southern Ethiopia. M.Sc. Thesis. Dept. of Range Science, Colorado State University,

Fort Collins, Colorado, U.S.A. 117 pp. University advisor: Dr. James Detling.

Published one paper in a peer-reviewed journal with Atsedu and his university advisor. This illustrates

my unusually strong role as a research mentor.

Solomon Dessalegn. 1992. Bush encroachment in the southern Ethiopian rangelands: Prospects for

control using fire and chemical or mechanical techniques. M.A.Sc. Thesis. Dept. of Wool and

Animal Science, University of New South Wales, Kensington, Australia. University advisor: Dr.

Gordon King. No published papers came out of the work by this student. His work was summarized in Coppock

(1994) listed previously.
