Research Projects	Mt. Rose Wilderness, Washoe County, Nevada, 1999.	My research concerns the natural history of arid regions. I focus my studies on the Great Basin and Mojave Desert, a region that includes most of Nevada and some of each of the surrounding states. Most of my research involves how plants are distributed across landscapes and regions.
Students		I am interested in all students! Many of my students are from other nations, and I learn much from them about their countries. I can be helpful for students interested in careers in field biology, as I work with folks in local, state, and federal agencies.

Teaching	I teach general education courses in biology and environmental science to non-majors. Click on the Teaching button to download current course syllabuses.
Committees	I served on the CCSN Curriculum Committee and the UCCSN Environmental Science Discipline Committee.
