Research and Teaching Interests
I have interdisciplinary research interests that combine paleoclimate and paleofire studies with ecology and conservation. I am interested in using stable isotopes to identify environmental and climatic changes that occurred throughout the Holocene. I use this data to compare past conditions to the present so more effective management decisions and conservation measures can be created for the future.
Please feel free to email me at any time. I am always interested in collaborating!
