Research overview
I’m interested in how ecosystems respond to changes in disturbance regimes and the fundamental processes that govern the responses of ecosystems to these changes. My work is grounded in experimental research, taking advantage of the diverse sets of fire manipulation experiments across the globe combined with the advances in ecosystem models.
Teaching
Teaches on the Natural Sciences Tripos, including 1B Ecology, Evolution and Conservation, Part II Responses to Global Change and the Part 1B Juniper Hall Field Course.
