The primary component of my PhD research is the construction of a spatially-explicit simulation model that takes a combined agent-based/cellular automata approach to directly consider the interaction between human land management decision-making and landscape vegetation dynamics. [more...]
Since coming into contact with aspects of complex systems study in the later stages of my undergraduate degree, I developed research interests in the relationships between characteristic spatio-temporal scaling patterns in nature, specifically Wildfire regimes, and their biophysical and/or anthropogenic driving forces.

During my study, development and application of several types of environmental model (statistical, cellular automata, agent-based) I have become interested in some of the philosphical issues surrounding these tools. [more...]
