We investigate ecological dynamics of terrestrial plant communities and ecosystems, biosphere-atmosphere
interactions, and mechanistic models of animal movement.
Our research and projects include:
Improving the predictive ability of
terrestrial biosphere models
Impacts of disturbance, climate variability & CO2 on the North American carbon cycle
Effects of deforestation and climate change
on carbon & water cycling in Amazonia
Spatial dynamics of fires & forest
pathogen outbreaks in Yellowstone
National Park
Influence of Hemlock Wooly Adelgid on forest dynamics & the terrestrial carbon cycle
Mechanistic models of
animal movement
Enhancing vegetation
structure for terrestrial
biosphere modeling using Lidar
and Radar techniques
variability & CO2 on the North American carbon cycle
