Research Interests

I am a broadly trained ecologist interested in the functions, dynamics, 以及森林生态系统和景观的适应能力——包括人类和我们的经济, political, and cultural institutions - in a rapidly changing world.

• Forest Ecology & Management
• Climate Change Impacts & Adaptation
• Ecosystem Services 
• Long-Term Ecosystem Monitoring
• Land Use Planning, Policy and Governance of Forest Landscapes
• Traditional Ecological Knowledge & Biocultural Restoration
• Forest Biogeochemistry & Greenhouse Gas Budgets
• Applied Geoinformatics

Prospective Students

我们小组对生态和社会功能进行研究, drivers and dynamics of change, and overall resilience of forest landscapes during the Anthropocene 在这个时代，人类已经从根本上塑造了地球上所有的基本生命维持系统. 我们融合了基础研究和应用研究，并借鉴了多个学科和知识体系, 认识到人类是地球系统不可分割的一部分, 能够引起快速和不可逆转的变化(在人类的时间尺度内)，以及培养适应能力的仔细管理. 

我们小组目前或过去几年研究的课题包括:

• role of multiple stressors (acid rain, climate change, insects) on forest productivity and health in the Adirondacks
• forest ecosystem services, especially regulation of water and climate, and their responses to forest management in the US Northeast
• 酸雨对阿迪朗达克湖泊和森林的破坏和恢复的社会和经济影响
• forest resource governance, policy drivers of land use change, and social-ecological vulnerability in Chile
• 利用参与式地理信息系统驱动的过程，在阿迪朗达克进行景观尺度的娱乐规划
• 气候变化制图与景观生物气候指标的发展研究, education and adaptation
• 通过全流域石灰化修复严重酸损的森林和湖泊生态系统
• 与阿迪朗达克地区游憩和生态系统恢复活动有关的入侵物种生态学和管理
• 寒带和温带生态系统及其过渡带的气候敏感性
• application of open geoinformatics technology for web-mapping, data sharing and management decision-support

My philosophy is to mentor students to develop innovative, rigorous and collaborative research, 并鼓励学生遵循他们最大的兴趣和能力.  请给我发电子邮件了解更多信息或安排一些时间聊天.

Web Mapping and Interactive Data Applications

 

	New York Climate Change Science Clearinghouse - Maps & GIS Viewer developed by 网赌平台, 前沿空间有限责任公司和纽约州官方网站的合作伙伴，了解气候变化的影响，促进整个纽约州的气候适应和恢复能力.
	Great South Woods Interactive Map - developed in partnership with adirondackatlas.org, 该地图提供了由一个参与性组织制定的50多条建议, 阿迪朗达克公园南部的社区和大型娱乐规划项目. Learn more about the GSW effort here.
	Forest Ecosystem Services Toolkit (FEST) - A collaborative, 以数据为导向，努力衡量森林生态系统为人类提供的诸多益处, 同时考虑和确定多种变化驱动因素对生态系统支持人类福祉能力的影响.  随着新的案例研究、R脚本和可视化的加入，FEST正在不断地发展.
	Adirondack Regional Geographic Information System (ARGIS) -我们的第一个概念验证网络地图的阿迪朗达克，继续有一个小但专门的用户群.
