I am a landscape social-ecological scientist and behavioral geographer with training, teaching experience and research experience in landscape ecology, behavioural and perceptual geography, geographic information systems (GIS), planning, policy analysis, and surveying. I have excellent credentials in teaching, research and service, and strive to balance these facets of my work. I approach my teaching and research from an interdisciplinary perspective directed at integrated methodologies toward humans and the ecosystem, that is, social-ecological systems. The hallmark of my research is in rigorous interdisciplinary science that has relevance to society and particularly to communities at the local-level. My current focus is on the understanding of community response, resilience, and adaptation to environmental change. This is informed by geographical, ecological, anthropological and systems theories including complex systems and resilience frameworks using a combination of quantitative and qualitative approaches.
