I am an ecologist in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at Brown University. My research is focused on understanding how the diversity, distribution, and abundance of plants and animals drive the emergent properties of coastal ecosystems. The land-sea interface is a rich and productive region, but is changing at an accelerating rate due to globally important factors including overexploitation of resources, species invasions, extinctions, and habitat degradation. This makes coastal ecosystems both a conservation priority and a model system for investigating human impacts on the natural world. I employ a combination of field experiments and large-scale observations to develop a practical understanding of coastal ecosystems that is rooted in both natural history observation and ecological theory.
