My research combines field observations and remote sensing analyses to study the diversity, resilience, and ecological functions of plant communities at different spatial scales. At the site scale, I use field observations to understand the impact of restoration treatments on plant communities and their ecological functions. At the regional scale, I use remote sensing data and aerial images to study the response of habitats to different conservations strategies and landscape transformations. While much of my current research focuses on wetlands, I am generally drawn to research projects leveraging the tools and principles of landscape ecology to conserve ecosystems in rapidly changing, human-dominated landscapes.
