​In my research I explore why and how ecosystems change in response to changes in management and climate, and what this means for the future resilience of social-ecological systems. I ask questions at the boundaries of disciplines, with a focus on issues of degradation and restoration in arid rangelands. I answer these questions using tools from ecology, geography, biogeochemistry and remote sensing. Landscape-scale questions and models rely heavily on a knowledge of the system on the ground, from the plants to the politics. Thus, my past and current work has involved a combination of fieldwork and modeling at multiple scales.

Brooke Iacone

Masters Student

Brooke grew up in southern New Jersey just outside of Philadelphia. She graduated from Rowan University in 2018 with a BA in Environmental Studies and a BS in Geographic Information Science. Her research interests center on human-environment geography using geospatial techniques such as GIS and remote sensing. She is particularly interested in topics involving biodiversity and wildlife conservation, habitat loss and fragmentation, and land use change.

Mia Murray

Masters Student

Mia is from Charlottesville, VA and graduated from The Ohio State University in 2020 with a BA in Geography specializing in Environment and Society. Her research interests focus on climate change and integrating geospatial data analysis methodologies for monitoring and modeling environmental and ecological processes. She is particularly interested in assessing land use change and cover using geospatial techniques such as remote sensing to analyze human-environment interactions.
