landscape ecology, conservation genetics, forest ecology, population genetics, forest health
My research leverages the disciplines of landscape ecology, conservation biology and population genetics to assess and mitigate threats to tree species and forest communities, particularly across broad scales. I focus on developing and applying innovative qualitative methods and models to address broad-scale, complex threats to forest health, with an emphasis on delivering tools that can enable better-informed management of forests and the tree species that constitute them. Specifically, I have five central areas of research expertise: Development of indicators of forest biodiversity and ecosystem function across broad regions using Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) data. Investigating species invasion patterns and processes across broad spatial scales. Development of a framework to categorize and prioritize forest tree species for conservation and management actions based on life-history characteristics and external threats. Completion of range-wide genetic variation studies of several at-risk forest tree species. Coordination of assessments of forest resource status and trends across broad scales.
