CAREER GOALS

  • Conduct multi-scale research projects that provide new insights into fire and wildlife habitat spatial patterns.
  • Transform research results into applicable knowledge that leads to better land management.

CURRENT RESEARCH

  • Stand and landscape level analysis of fire history patterns in the Santa Catalina Mountains of southeastern Arizona.
  • Effects of landscape fuel arrangements and climate on fire history patterns in small mountain ranges of southeastern Arizona.
  • Pre-settlement age structure response to moisture and fire history variability.
  • Tree spatial and age structure patterns in the Gila National Forest.
  • Long Valley Experimental Forest Restoration project
