Sugar maple is arguably the most ecologically and economically important tree in the Northern Forest. The species is declining throughout most of the Adirondack forests; however the total cause of this decline is not fully understood. Previous work has illustrated that sugar maple decline is associated with climate change, acid rain, and insect outbreaks. My thesis research focuses on the coupled effects of acid deposition and climate change on sugar maple growth across the Adirondack region. A greater understanding of these stressors and their synergistic effects on sugar maple growth is needed to improve management practices and adapt to future changes.

Throughout history, forest ecosystems have provided human communities with a multitude of products, services, and values, including energy sources, structural materials, food, clean water, and important spiritual, cultural, and aesthetic values. My broad interests lie in understanding how the conservation and management of forestlands can continue to provide a diverse suite of goods and services, including both commodities and ecosystem services, as both the physical environment and human needs change and evolve over time.
Graduate Research Topic
The impacts of management practices, particularly those intended to produce biomass for energy production, on the provision of a broad suite of ecosystem services and forest commodities over time and space.

Undergraduate Institute: Pontifica University of Catolica de Ch Graduate Research Topic
I'm interested in drivers and consequences of Land-use and land-cover change (LULCC). In particular I'm interested in the ongoing process of LUCC in south central Chile. In the last 40 years exotic tree plantations have expanded rapidly over eroded soils and farmlands and now are becoming a representative land use in the region. Nevertheless, political positions in regards to this change are diverse among different stakeholder. On the other hand, I am interested the landscape consequences of this change in land use over environmental variables such as soil quality, biodiversity and fire probability. My main goal is to understand the human-natural interaction in this system and how this interaction can be sustained in the long-term.

My interests in ecology are broad, and range from species to ecosystem level questions. I am especially interested in how human driven changes to natural processes affect ecosystem resilience. My current research focuses on above ground nutrient cycling in northern hardwood forests. I am also working on a project investigating of the effects of historic land use on nitrogen transformations in lawns, and conducting an uncertainty analysis of long term atmospheric deposition at the Sevilleta LTER in New Mexico.

I'll always see myself as a scientist from the button of my heart. During the time in ESF and SU, I am pursuing a PhD on Environmental Science with a focus on environmental health. I believe the leverages of statistics and GIS will help people make better decision on public health policy. Graduate Research Topic
My dissertation research is about evaluation on intervention effects of children's lead poisoning in Syracuse, NY. Children's blood lead levels were the major health measurements, I applied time series analysis, regression and geospatial analysis to assess the long-term effects of lead poisoning prevention program on children's health.

My interest span across multiple aspects of forest ecosystems and the practical application of plants. Currently my specific interests are in forest health and factors that influence their health and productivity. Graduate Research Topic
I am currently studying the health and productivity of sugar maples based on available soil nutrients in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. My research project is determining whether the percent sugar content in the sap of sugar maples is increased by application of a calcium, nitrogen, or phosphorus fertilizer in the forest stand. Research discoveries will potentially have a beneficial application to maple syrup producers. Favorite Quote
