My research focuses on understanding the impacts of recent shifts in California's fire regimes on native wildlife communities. Using a combination of biodiversity monitoring techniques I plan to observe the response and potential recovery of wildlife species to recent extreme fire events.
My current field work takes place in the Hopland Research and Extension Center, assessing the impacts of the 2018 River Fire on mammal and bird communities using camera traps, acoustic/ultrasonic monitors and GPS-tracking.
