My research involves understanding stand dynamics and application of silvicultural techniques in an era of change. More specifically, I focus on how forest structure may contribute to the adaptive capacity of forests and how management can enhance forest structural diversity while still meeting a broad set of societal goals. As both a forest manager and researcher, I am interested in performing research with practical applications and finding ways to best communicate outcomes to practitioners. I strive to combine my interests in application to all facets of my job—engaging students in practical, real-world problem solving, and including outreach in activities at the UVM Research Forests.
