Research Information |
Education: |
| Swarthmore College, Biology, BA; University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Ecology, MA 1983 |
Current Research: |
| Evaluation of the impacts of forest health, land use patterns and habitat fragmentation at landscape to regional scales, modeling the interactions between ecological and socio-economic processes and the influence of spatial patterning on regional forest benefits. Current studies include research into broad scale factors influencing wildfire incidence and damage including the effectiveness of fuel management, regional analyses of southern pine beetle outbreaks, and identification of how population growth and other social factors drive forest fragmentation. |
Collaborative Research: |
| I am currently engaged in several collaborations involving web-based tools for improving our delivery of scientific information. One project is a collaboration with the Western Wildland and Eastern Forest Environmental Threat Assessment Centers and others to host a national conference on risk assessment, with content distributed and maintained via the Forest Encyclopedia Network. I also represent field R&D on several agency IT governance groups: the Investment Managers Working Group, the Information Management Directors group, and the Information Management Council. |
