About me
I am an Assistant Research Professor in the Department of Natural Resources and Society in the College of Natural Resources at the University of Idaho. My scientific goals are to further the understanding of ecological processes related to terrestrial ecosystems at local to global scales under global change. My research focus includes forest ecology, remote sensing, carbon cycling, and forest disturbance. I use satellite and other geospatial data for assessing global change.
My current and past research projects include (click on the active links for more information):
- Using UAV-lidar data for environmental monitoring
- Ranking the importance of unburned areas
- Detection of unburned islands across the northwestern United States
- Quantifying carbon impacts of fire- and insect-caused tree mortality using the Community Land Model (CLM)
- Assessing topographic and climatic drivers of pinyon pine die-off in northern New Mexico
- Detecting mountain pine beetle-caused tree mortality using Landsat time series
- Describing spatial and temporal patterns of bark beetle-caused tree mortality using aerial surveys in British Columbia and the western United States
