My current research projects include; Effects of forest restoration treatments on northern spotted owl prey abundance in the Eastern Cascades; Effects of wildfire and forest restoration treatments on northern goshawks in the Colville National Forest; Assessing effects of climate change on wildlife and habitats in south-central Oregon; Developing and applying methods to assess regional-scale habitat connectivity patterns; Individual-based population simulation modeling to evaluate the effects of disturbance and landscape change on sensitive wildlife populations.
My research focuses on understanding the relationship between animal populations, landscape patterns, landscape change, and disturbance processes. I employ field studies, spatial analysis, and simulation models to evaluate the effects of landscape change on wildlife distribution and population function.
