Personal profile

Current Research Interests

Studies climate change and its interaction with greenhouse gas fluxes in managed and natural ecosystems around the world. Much of his work focuses on how changing land use can either exacerbate or mitigate future climate change, and how land use can be made more resilient to the future impacts of climate change.
