Overview
The primary focus of my research is the investigation of vegetation succession-disturbance dynamics and human decision-making in multifunctional forest and agricultural landscapes of North America and Europe using statistical, simulation and spatial modelling tools. My approach to the analysis of these phenomena originates from my academic background in physical geography and landscape ecology and interests in 'landscape' and modelling.

In Michigan's Upper Peninsula my research explores the relationships between, and co-ordinated management options for, timber harvest, white-tailed deer and endangered songbird species. In Europe, my research in central Spain examines the interaction of human activity, land use/cover change and wildfire.
