Research Interests
My research focuses on improving our understanding of the structure and function of forested ecosystems through the study of, silviculture and applied forest ecology, regeneration ecology, stand dynamics, production ecology, and the developing science of climate change adaptation. I use dendrochronology as a tool to aid in our understanding of past, present, and future tree and forest change. I extend my expertise by collaborating with researchers across multiple disciplines including climatology, paleoecology, anthropology, and archaeology.
