My teaching prepares students for life in a world of local-global interconnections. Students learn valuable job skills in environmental science, including land and water resource management, mapping, fieldwork, and project design.
My research is collaborative and students play a key role. Current projects focus on forest carbon and the management of natural areas by institutes of higher education.
Recent projects include:
- voluntary conservation by private landowners
- environmental hazards of invasive species
- cannabis agriculture and its environmental impacts
- experiential teaching and learning in the field
Since 2012 I have served as Faculty Manager of the 560-acre Ithaca College Natural Lands (ICNL).
