About ME

Hello! I am an ecosystem ecologist and biogeochemist interested in how climate change modulates biological communities and their associated ecosystem functions and services. I combine field observations, experimental manipulations, and long-term datasets with novel simulation models and geographic information systems (GIS) to explore the causes and ecosystem consequences of global change. I am particularly interested in using species’ functional traits to understand their contributions to ecosystem processes in systems or landscapes experiencing climate change.

Drivers of Extreme Single-Day Wildfire SpreadSince joining the Clark School of the Environment at Western Colorado University, I've collaborated with an international team of forest and wildfire scientists to study the climatic and landscape drivers of extreme single-day wildfire spread events and their burn severity outcomes. |
