Research
in context.
Each project begins with its ecological question, then opens into field methods, notebooks, maps, images, analysis, and the limits of what the evidence can support.
Urban runoff reaches salmon-bearing streams as changing mixtures whose effects cannot be read from a single sample. Miller Creek connects storm events, water conditions, exposure systems, fish care, imaging, and watershed context so the biological evidence stays tied to the event that produced it.
Whitebark pine occupies a narrow and changing climatic space. This model asks where occurrence, elevation, temperature, and precipitation align—and keeps model performance, future projections, and extrapolation risk together so suitability is not presented as certainty.
Bryophytes make scale visible: minute diagnostic traits determine identity, while substrate, moisture, habitat, and repeated occurrence determine what a site record can mean. This project carries that reasoning from notebook and microscope into mobile GIS.
Identification is an argument built from observable traits. Key paths, measured morphology, habitat, ecological association, and diagnostic drawing preserve how a name was reached—not only the name itself.
At Sun Lakes–Dry Falls, vegetation records the combined effects of flood geology, aridity, moisture, substrate, exposure, and disturbance. The project follows those relationships across the landscape rather than treating the species list as the conclusion.
Field data is shaped by the interface available at the moment of encounter. FieldMark tests how weather, pressure, movement, position, and observation context can be captured quickly without pretending that automation replaces review.
