Research Associate at Michigan State University
My current research focus is the development of an ecological-economic model of a managed forest landscape. Based in the Center for Systems Integration and Sustainability, this project involves modellers, ecologists, economists, foresters, conservation organisations and land-owners to examine management and policy options for the forests of Michigan's Upper Peninsula.

I received my PhD from King's College London in May 2007 where I was based in the Department of Geography. My PhD examined the impact of potential human-caused land use/cover change upon ecological patterns and processes (predominantly wildfire) in a Mediterranean landscape. This research initiated the development of a spatially-explicit simulation model and is ongoing in collaboration with colleagues in Spain, the UK and New Zealand.
