Current Research:
I work on questions related to landscape-scale conservation challenges and actions in the Northern Appalachian Mountains. In particular, I am developing GIS-based tools that permit projection of conservation threats in the region to better allow for identification of priorities areas for management and protection. I have also recently begun a field study on assemblage structure of ground beetles and how these are influenced by changes in habitat characteristics and fragmentation.
