His work in adaptation science focuses on understanding the risks posed by climate change to ecosystems and natural resource management. He has conducted research on climate-change effects on extreme wildfires in the Southeast, impacts to prescribed fire management, and changing fire regimes, and has worked on long-term adaptation solutions in the U.S. Caribbean via the development of ultra-high-resolution climate projections, toward supporting robust conservation strategies for at-risk species. He is the federal coordinating lead author for one of two physical climate science chapters being developed for the forthcoming Fifth National Climate Assessment, and is a member of the U.S. State Department scientific delegation for the Sixth Assessment Report of the IPCC.
