I primarily focus on wetland habitats especially High Plains playas, Gulf coastal marshes, and western riparian areas, with additional investigations in prairie ecosystems. I principally concentrate on the influence of habitat quality and quantity on population dynamics of migratory waterbirds, prairie grouse, and grassland passerines. Of particular interest is the role of wintering and migratory stopover locations in future reproductive success of migratory birds, which includes assessment of cross-seasonal effects and multi-spatial scale modeling. In addition, I am involved in long-term development and assessment of novel models for environmental education.
