Sean unexpectedly passed away on January 2nd, 2020, in a ski accident at Alta, Utah. He is sorely missed by his family, friends and fellow scientists. We continue to honor his beautiful mind and wild spirit by maintaining this sight as his legacy.
Recently, Sean’s colleagues at UAF and UofU dedicated their most recent isotope publication to Sean. Check it out here.
Landscapes, Ecosystems, & Natural Resources
Human communities need reliable access to fresh water, food, and energy. These are critical services ecosystems provide to society but they emerge from the complex interactions among climate, landscapes, and biological communities.
My research focuses on quantifying and understanding these relationships to conserve and manage our natural resources better, especially in the face of ongoing, rapid environmental change.
