Research Interests: Research has focused on the generation and interpretation of high-resolution records of climate for the past 2,000 years. Current research projects concern tree-ring reconstructions of drought for the Great Plains and Rocky Mountains, as well as investigations into the mechanisms of long terms drought and impacts on ecosystems and disturbance regimes. Other work addresses millennial length reconstructions of temperature and atmospheric circulation for the northern Rockies and western United States. Recent projects target ways to generate dendrohydrologic reconstructions that are more useful to water resource managers.
