Research Abstract
My research interests are diverse, encompassing open space conservation and management for wildlife; mitigation and habitat restoration as they relate to ameliorating biodiversity loss, particularly in coastal sage scrub and wetlands (ecological restoration); rare, threatened and endangered species, particularly in wetland habitats; invasive species; and environmental ethics. I have been involved with the creation of over a dozen acres of coastal sage scrub and 50 acres of freshwater marsh habitat at UCI. Students are central to my research and help design, implement, and monitor restorations. I am a member of UCI's Sustainability Committee and assist students in accessing UCI’s sustainability programs, campus-wide efforts in this area, and related research on campus.

Courses: Limnology and Freshwater Biology (Bio. E179); Field Freshwater Ecology (Bio. E179L); Restoration Ecology (Bio. E175); Mediterranean Ecosystems: Biodiversity and Conservation (Bio. E182); Environmental Ethics (Bio. E189); Horticulture (Bio. 9E); Sustainable Landscaping (Bio. 23)
