- Research Summary
- Our research group is collaborative and interdisciplinary, working mostly in Hawaii and the western Great Lakes region. We seek perspective on ecological systems through time and space, finding examples of processess that occur too slowly or events that occur too rarely for humans to easily observe. Our current research examines ecological responses to species invasion, multidecadal droughts, and changes in fire regimes across landscapes and in the sedimentary records left by aquatic communities and their watersheds.
