His research focuses on interactions among biodiversity, climate change, and land use, with an emphasis on large landscape management and protected areas. He received a Ph.D. in ecology at the University of Tennessee and the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Current research at Montana State University focus on sustaining wildland ecosystems under climate and land use change, with a focus on the US and eight countries in the humid tropics.
