Dr. McIntyre is the current Hedco Endowed Chair of Environmental Studies. Her research on mammal movements in response to habitat variables and fire disturbance in the San Bernardino Forest. In the past her research included ravens as a threat to desert tortoise, eutrophication of high altitude lakes, and public policy. Dr. McIntyre's research on public policy includes studying public land issues such as wolf re-introduction on public lands in Idaho; changes in public land grazing and logging policy and resulting socio-economic implications. This research interest dates back to her undergraduate thesis on the Sagebrush Rebellion, completed in 1981. Dr. McIntyre's dissertation research at the University of Virginia involved declining Neotropical migrant bird populations in Albemarle County, Virginia.
Prior to her time at the University of Redlands Dr. McIntyre was engaged in a number of professional endeavors including being Manager for of the Mountain Cloud Chemistry Project at the University of Virginia. Dr. McIntyre was also the owner and manager of Nature's Own Landscapes, an environmentally sustainable and friendly landscaping company. She was a Professional Forester working in forestry consulting and industry.

Skiing at Bogus Basin ski resort (outside of Boise) and going to Yellowstone in the winter of 1972 with my family, evermore changing my trajectory in life.
Peregrine falcon – fastest animal and small for a falcon!
Bloodroot – native to Virginia woodlands – first to flower in spring.
Mountain Cloud Chemistry Project (MCCP); collected clouds! And I went out with “Dan the Bear Man” who radio collared bears for a living!! (see bear pictures on my office door)
This is hard; I loved them all. The worst had to be getting lost in the Yellowstone wilderness and walking all night, through a swamp (donned ‘midnight in the swamp’) where I fell and broke my finger.
