I am an Assistant Research Professor for the University of Arizona’s Laboratory of Tree-Ring Research. My research interests cover a range of topics including forest-disturbance ecology, forest demography, human-environmental interactions, and archaeology. Much of my research seeks to understand how humans and climate change have affected forest resilience and how these lessons can be applied to management decisions. I am also active in developing new tools and resources for tree-ring scientists to improve field sampling, analytical methods, and data visualization.
