Professional Title
Research Associate
My current research is centered on natural climate solutions, in this case using forests to capture and store excess carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. My previous research has addressed agricultural land use/land cover change, effects of climate change on the Prairie Pothole Region, maintenance of habitat connectivity for wildlife, and remote sensing methods for ecosystem monitoring at continental scales.
