Profile
I am an ecologist with the Clemson Experimental Forest, focusing on carbon accounting, Climate-Smart forestry, and timber market analyses.
Research Interests
My research includes forest economics, carbon cycling, and carbon offset markets. I focus on quantifying carbon sequestration and other ecosystem services at various spatial scales, including the plot level through on the ground carbon measurements, landscape level through eddy covariance towers and sensors, and at the state level through satellite imagery and LiDAR.
