Bio
My research focuses on the structure, function, and disturbance ecology of temperate forest landscapes of western North America. I use a combination of field-based longitudinal datasets, remote sensing, and process-based simulation models to understand how climate, land use, and disturbance processes are shaping landscapes. Fire is a consistent thread in my research, and I study fire ecology across a broad range of scales from individual trees to entire regions. I am also a member of the CoLaborative for Intersectoral Modeling of Earth Systems (CLIMES) lab, an interdisciplinary research team spanning several Colleges across UWyo working on integrated human-earth systems modeling. My research addresses both basic and applied questions in forest, fire, and landscape ecology, and I am devoted to producing research that informs science-based adaptive management and policy on public lands.
