About

I am a biogeographer with a focus in desert ecology and botany. I utilize multiple approaches and time scales to establish baselines to better understand modern biodiversity and connect science to conservation.

My current research projects include plants on the islands of the Gulf of California in collaboration with the Comcaac, CONANP, and other; fire in the desert driven by invasive species; early peoples in the Sonoran Desert; the freshwater pozos of the Gran Desierto; the geologic and evolutionary history of the Baja California peninsula.

I am the Director and co-founder of N-Gen.
