Remote sensing of ecosystem function

Co-founder & CEO of Salo Sciences, Inc., a conservation analytics and forest monitoring company helping NGOs and governments make better decisions about conservation and climate change mitigation.  

Formerly a climate change ecologist with The Nature Conservancy, and tropical forest ecology postdoc with the Carnegie Airborne Observatory. 

My research focuses on how global change affects the ecological composition, structure, biomass, and function of ecosystems worldwide.

Tropical conservation and policy

Every year tropical forests convert more atmospheric CO2 into biomass than any other ecosystem on earth. This means they play a crucial role in modulating climate change, among other ecosystem services.
 
One of my main goals as a scientist is to facilitate the development of sound conservation policy through my research, outreach, and advocacy.
