He earned a Ph.D. in human ecology from the University of California, Davis in 2008. His research focuses on the connections between human systems and biogeography, linking disturbance and landscape change to historical processes. He researches how human actions, such as fire and the introduction of invasive species, influence both the distribution of species and ecological function, and how the physical aspects of landscape change interact with human systems and socio-cultural change. Most recently he has been developing predictive models of complex systems that link human management practices and ecological processes to increase the resilience and sustainability of social-ecological systems.
Sarah Fleisher Trainor, research associate professor, IARC and Institute of Northern Engineering, UAF, will present her research seminar Monday, April 7 from 2:30 to 3:30 p.m. in O’Neill 201 and her teaching seminar on Tuesday, April 8 from 1 to 2 p.m. in O’Neill 201.
