The practical importance of understanding land management as a combination of human and ecological systems is increasingly recognized. Rancher decision making likely relies on both science-based and locally acquired knowledge of the natural environment. Choices can be constrained by public perceptions and threats of legal action to control ranchers’ use of public lands, an essential component to ranching in Arizona. However, with the exception of economics and policy, the human dimension has rarely been integrated with U.S. ranch management and ecology.

My research interests include carbon dynamics, fire ecology, restoration ecology, and remote sensing. I am currently employed by the US Forest Service under the Student Temporary Experience Program (STEP). My work for the USFS involves quantifying the amount of above ground carbon in the Coronado National Forest through remotely sensed data calibrated with ground-truth measurements.
