BIO
Forest Ecology and Forestry
As a forest ecosystem scientist I am interested in developing and applying the best available science to questions of local, regional, and global environmental and forest ecosystem sustainability. My specific research foci include forest carbon management, climate change impacts on forest ecosystems, ecologically-based silvicultural systems, structure and function of old-growth and riparian forests, natural disturbance ecology, restoration ecology, forest biodiversity, and sustainable forest management policy and practice in the U.S. and internationally. I teach courses in advanced silviculture, forest ecosystem dynamics, restoration ecology, ecosystem management, and sustainable forest management.
Courses
- Ecosystem Management
- Forest Ecosystem Dynamics
- Restoration Ecology
- Sustainable Forest Management
- Graduate Travel Course: Fire ecology, restoration, and biomass energy in New Mexico
- Sustainable Forest Certification
- Ecological Economics and Sustainable Forest Management in the Ukrainian Carpathians
Area(s) of expertise
Instructional programs: Environmental Sciences, Forestry
Research: Forest ecology and dynamics; climate, forest carbon & energy; sustainable forestry
