Current Research

I recently completed a landscape-level forest biomass and carbon sequestration assessment using repeat field and lidar surveys. Now I am expanding the scope of this work to examine relationships between forest canopy structure, wildlife habitat and biodiversity, and coupled carbon and water cycles. My collaborators and I are working to improve LiDAR data analysis capabilities for vegetation applications. I also work with other fire scientists to relate postfire effects to prefire fuels and active fire behavior on prescribed fires, where it's safe and logistically feasible to measure these variables before, during, and after the fire. An improved fundamental understanding of fire as a process will advance fire science and help fire managers make better decisions. I also study the effectiveness of fuel treatments for mitigating wildfire severity.

Research Interests

My research interests include landscape, vegetation, and fire ecology; remote sensing of vegetation patterns and processes; forest and rangeland ecology and management; empirical modeling of spatially explicit ecological data.

Past Research

My PhD research examined the ecological causes and consequences of historic bush encroachment in South African savannas. I retain an active interest in savanna fire ecology and the relationship between vegetation pattern and fire process in both forest and rangeland ecosystems.

Why This Research is Important

Forest managers need better tools and information on forest biomass and carbon sequestration. Fuel and fire managers need better information on how best to manipulate forest fuels to mitigate the risk of severe fire and to cope with severe fire effects. Airborne and satellite remote sensing in combination with appropriately sampled ground data can provide this needed information in the form of maps.
