I joined the Biological Sciences Dept. at CSN in Fall 2005, where I currently teach:
Degrees:
B.S., Biology/Public Health, Utah State University 1993
Ph.D., Physiology, Southern Illinois University School of Medicine 1999
Research:
Most recently I've been collaborating with researchers at Northern Arizona University (NAU) on a project involving the piñon pine tree. The piñon/juniper woodlands of the southwest are under considerable pressure from human-induced climate change, with current projections predicting massive die-offs (further reading).
More information about the project on the research page.
