RESEARCH INTERESTS

My research focuses on forest conservation ecology in southern Chile. My dissertation work explores the impacts of land use history, disturbance patterns and climate change on southern beech forest ecosystems in the future Patagonia National Park (see www.conservacionpatagonica.org for more information about the project) and supports conservation efforts related to the endangered Huemul deer.

I am also interested in the conservation and management of both relict ecosystems and novel (or emerging) ecosystems, with a particular focus on comparing various approaches employed internationally.
