Research Interests

My general areas of interest are rare and threatened species conservation, alien species management, and ecosystem restoration, all focused on Hawaii and Pacific Islands. My specific interests include the conservation biology of the Hawaiian silversword alliance, ecology and restoration of Hawaiian bog plant communities, and the vegetation of Belau (Palau), Micronesia.
