I investigate how past and current environmental perturbations such as climate change, fires, and the introduction of non-native species have influenced animal and plant population dynamics. My work is conducted on a variety of empirical systems, including insects, frogs, and plants. My passion for conserving biodiversity has motivated me to combine elements of basic and applied research in my research program. My current research focuses on developing a spatial modeling platform (DDRP) that predicts phenology and climate suitability of invasive insect species in real-time, and building models for several high priority invasive species. My previous research has focused on 1) combining and analyzing remote sensing and ecological data sets to measure patterns and drivers of vegetation change through time; and 2) characterizing and identifying the types and sources of genetic variation that shape the movement and demographics of plant and animal populations.
