Research emphasizes applied conservation science, with projects spanning aspen population dynamics, ungulate ecology, and invasive species management. Recent work includes studying whitebark pine ecology and effects of reintroduced herbivores on grasslands.
Lab activities include mentoring graduate students/postdocs (e.g., Liz Reikowski, Jacob Macdonald) and organizing symposia on topics like forest resilience and aspen conservation. Active in field-based experiments and landscape-level analysis.
Current opportunities: Postdoc/Ph.D. positions available studying high-elevation conifers. Lab operates from the Max C. Fleischmann College of Agriculture Building in Reno, NV.
