About Me
I am the Director of the Cultural Resource Sciences program within the Center for Applied Fire and Ecosystem Science at the New Mexico Consortium. I recieved my PhD in Anthropology from Arizona State Univeristy. I am an environmental archaeologist, specializing in charcoal analysis, computational and analytical proxy modeling, and quantitative methods to understand the dynamic relationship between fire, humans, and long-term environmental change. I also develop projects to improve methods and tools in cultural resource management and fire archaeology, including machine learning and LiDAR data collection/analysis. I work primarily in the Western United States and the Western Mediterranean.
