Research Interests
My interests and experiences lie at the intersection of science, natural resource management, and environmental change. Current research topics include natural and anthropogenic forest disturbances such as wildfire, prescribed burning, and insect outbreaks, coupled with forest restoration techniques and land-use priorities. I have broad interests in nature-society interactions, particularly with a focus on resource extractive industries such as fishing, forestry, grazing, and harvesting.
