research on land, stewardship, and ecological futures

A remote sensing analysis measuring annual land cover conversion to cropland using classified satellite imagery and village-level land transition data.

The study examines how land governance and community-based interventions are associated with changes in cropland expansion over time.

M.S. research analyzing how adaptive silviculture treatments and shifting climate conditions shape mammal occupancy patterns across managed and unmanaged forests in Vermont and New Hampshire.

Fieldwork involved deploying camera trap networks across sites enrolled in the Adaptive Silviculture for Wildlife program (NECASC, UMass Amherst).

Contributing author on a study examining how European Amanita muscaria conserves its genomes and metabolomes when established in its novel South African range — and what this reveals about fungal adaptation and invasiveness.
