She works on multifunctional landscape issues related to social values and global change using social and spatial science, particularly in agriculture, energy, cities and coasts. Her research on climate adaptation in farming has taken place in Australia and Nova Scotia with new work being launched this year in Alberta and the Falkland Islands. That research includes implications of farming practices for farm habitat, biodiversity, green infrastructure, and ecosystem services, including wetland construction, riparian management, native pastures and rotational grazing.
