What we do
•Land use change •Climate change •Coupled-natural human systems •Species-habitat interactions
Our lab uses spatially explicit approaches to explore the effects of global and local change on organisms. We strive to understand how these changes are impacting ecological processes by identifying patterns, understanding mechanisms behind observed changes, and predicting future outcomes. The goal of our research is to integrate ecological understanding with stakeholder involvement to inform land management decisions.
