I study natural and cultural disturbances of forest ecosystems across a broad range of temporal and spatial scales. My primary tool is dendrochronology — the use of tree rings to reconstruct and evaluate variations in past and present environments. Combining tree-ring records with other natural archives and documentary sources, I reconstruct the histories of fire, insect outbreaks, climate, and human land use. With collaborators, I am currently studying disturbance and climate histories in western North America, the Jemez Mountains of New Mexico, and the Central Plateau of Siberia.
