His research is focused primarily on boreal wildfire, with a special emphasis on peatlands, and its impacts using an environmental physics framework. His research and wildfire incident roles as a Fire Behaviour Analyst has taken him from British Columbia to the western subarctic to eastern Quebec and many points in between.
