Research Interests: In my work with Parks Canada, I am researching how to best incorporate different streams of evidence into carrying out effective applied restoration ecology projects. This work is based on my research background and extensive experience in quantitative ecology, fisheries biology, invasive species biology and evidence-based conservation biology. I also do some consulting work on questions of mitigating impacts of development for First Nations, NGOs, government and industry.

Research Interests: Interdisciplinary approaches to conservation, collaborative caribou management, diverse ways of knowing, Indigenous governance, language, and knowledge.

Research Interests: Soil Nutrient Management

Research Interests: Plant secondary metabolite pathway engineering and discovery of novel insecticidal and antifungal proteins for crop protection.
