Professional Interests
My main research focus is using on environmental models to help advance our understanding of placed-based ecosystem services. This can be accomplished by modeling systems through simulations that utilize existing historic spatial and temporal data to build models that replicate past environmental patterns. Then, run what if scenarios by creating simulations that replicate proposed future planning. The goal of such an exercise is to make better land management decisions regarding invasive species spread, habitat management, sustainable resource extraction, etc...
