RESEARCH INTERESTS<br />
Quantifying ecosystem services for policy decisions that will promote sustainable use of the environment.<br />
Current research includes role of land-use and vegetation in regulating water yield and carbon<br />
sequestration.<br />
RESEARCH EXPERIENCE<br />
PhD Dissertation with Dr. Rob Jackson, <strong>Duke</strong> <strong>University</strong><br />
Examining the effect of land-use and cover changes such as invasive species, farming, and grazing on<br />
carbon storage and water yield<br />
Fulbright fellowship with Dr. Masashi Murakami, Hokkaido <strong>University</strong>:<br />
Examining the prey subsidies between different-aged stands and different forest types resulting from<br />
