My role at Saint Mary's is in both Management Science (School of Business) and Environmental Science (Faculty of Science). I am a committed interdisciplinary researcher, using a range of approaches to study coastal, marine, fishery topics, with a focus on how people interact with their environment and manage their natural resources. That includes looking at ocean uses like fishing, aquaculture, tourism, offshore oil and gas, and more. It also includes conservation approaches like protected areas, ecosystem-based management and community-based natural resource management. I am interested as well in methods for assessing and monitoring natural resource and environmental sustainability. I work in the Canadian Maritimes, and internationally with the United Nations and with colleagues in the United States, Mexico, Costa Rica, Japan and elsewhere.

I study the ecology of plants, particularly at the community level. The main research goals of my lab are to determine how species diversity is maintained in plant communities, and how this diversity contributes to ecosystem functioning. We address applied and theoretical questions in a variety of habitats.  New projects relate to green roofs and their benefits in urban areas, conservation of coastal barrens habitats and salt marsh restoration.

My research interests focus on information processes in our environment, and include:

-space-time pattern analysis and modeling; applications concern homogeneity and anisotropy in geosystems from small to large scale, seismicity and volcanism, climate variability, natural hazards and their human impact, environment and health;

-cultural processes and the environment, environmental semiotics, traditional environments;

-implications of information processes for education and research, including geographical information management.
