geospatial analytics, infectious disease modeling, landscape change
Developing and applying geospatial analytics for scientific discovery, communication of complex ideas, and decision-making––with particular attention on new methods and tools to forecast when and where things happen. Over the course of my 20+ research program, I have produced over 125 peer-reviewed journal articles, secured over $18M in funding from external grants, and mentored 18 Ph.D. students to graduation. I have extensive leadership experience in directing university research centers and currently direct the Center for Geospatial Analytics at North Carolina State University, where I led the establishment of a new doctoral program in Geospatial Analytics in 2018. As president of the U.S. International Association of Landscape Ecology (2016-18) I led a change to expand US-IALE to all of North America (IALE-North America) to broaden diversity and facilitate participation by underrepresented scientists, practitioners, and students.

TL;DR:
Assessment of the impacts of novel disturbance interactions between wildfire and SOD on the belowground survival and vegetative reproduction of resprouters suggests legacies maintained by resprouting may be more resilient to certain compounded disturbances, compared to seed-obligate species, because of high rates of individual survival under increasingly severe events.

Common Factors Drive Disease and Coarse Woody Debris Dynamics in Forests Impacted by Sudden Oak Death
ECOSYSTEMS, 15(2), 242–255.
author keywords: Phytophthora ramorum; emerging infectious disease; disease ecology; tanoak; coarse woody debris; decomposition

Forest species diversity reduces disease risk in a generalist plant pathogen invasion
ECOLOGY LETTERS, 14(11), 1108–1116.
author keywords: Bayesian hierarchical model; emerging infectious disease; forest ecosystem; landscape epidemiology; Phytophthora ramorum; spatial autocorrelation; species diversity; sudden oak death; zero-inflation
MeSH headings : Bayes Theorem; Biodiversity; California; Ecosystem; Host Specificity; Host-Pathogen Interactions; Introduced Species; Linear Models; Models, Biological; Phytophthora / pathogenicity; Plant Diseases / microbiology; Plants; Population Density; Trees / microbiology
TL;DR:
Evidence is found for pathogen dilution, whereby disease risk was lower in sites with higher species diversity, after accounting for potentially confounding effects of host density and landscape heterogeneity, suggesting that although nearly all plants in the ecosystem are hosts, alternative hosts may dilute disease transmission by competent hosts, thereby buffering forest health from infectious disease.

TL;DR:
Examination of the influence of land-cover changes between 1942 and 2000 on the establishment of an invasive pathogen, Phytophthora ramorum, concludes that enlargement of woodlands and closure of canopy gaps facilitated establishment of P. ramorum by increasing the area occupied by inoculum-production foliar hosts and enhancing forest microclimate conditions.
