Research
My research focuses on the response of the near-boreal forest of the BWCAW to the double disturbance of wind followed by fire, in the form of the 1999 derecho and the prescribed and wildfires that have ensued. I am examining the forest's regeneration: in particular, factors influencing the dispersal, survival, and ultimate distribution of red and white pine at various spatial scales. I expect to be involved in using GIS and remote sensing to update the forest stand origins of the entire BWCAW as established by Miron Heinselman. I am also interested in studying the potential of restorative wilderness management.
