I am a conservation scientist interested in how to meet future wood demands at the least cost to the planet. Much of my research considers how to navigate trade-offs between biodiversity, climate and economic objectives. To do this, I combine detailed field surveys, datasets and ecological theory with landscape-level modelling. I am particularly interested in how conservationists can assess the outcomes of alternative production approaches and I care deeply about how science can be used to influence landscape-scale management practices and reduce species extinction risk. Currently, I am quantifying the biodiversity and climate outcomes of alternative ways of meeting global wood demand, both in Oregon and around the world. I am happiest when walking along ridgelines in old-growth forests.
