My research focus is studying the ecological response of plant communities to climate change and disturbance in the past. I primarily study arid and semi-arid ecosystems and their response to prolonged changes in the hydrologic cycle compared to responses to short term disturbance like flood and fires.
Temporal changes in the desert wetlands: growth, development and state changes during the Holocene
Ecological response to prolonged drought in the Rocky Mountains
Portuguese coastal vegetation history, a comparison of the current and previous interglacial
