Our research interests are broad, but focus on Quaternary landscape dynamics and paleoenvironmental reconstruction. We use a variety of research methods, tools, and techniques to investigate the spatiotemporal variability of landscape-scale vegetation dynamics (those influenced by people or natural processes). We address questions that require the integration of present-day climatic and ecological processes with those that functioned in the past and those that are likely to become altered in the near-future due to human-induced changes.
