Broadly, my research focuses on forest structure in the Northern Forest of the northeast United States. More specifically, I examine the application of mobile light detection and ranging (LiDAR; mobile laser scanning; MLS) to characterize forest structure at both the tree and stand level. Additional research interests include the use of other remote sensing platforms to monitor spatial and temporal change in forested landscapes. I am also interested in forest economics and policy, particularly how management decisions and ownership patterns influence forest structure and composition. My professional background includes prescribed burning with the U.S. National Park Service, trail and GIS work with the U.S. Forest Service, service as a park ranger for with the New Hampshire State Parks system, and deforestation mapping with the Wildlife Conservation Society Cambodia.
