His research seeks to understand the history of human interactions with the natural world: how we depend on the ecosystems around us to sustain our material lives, how we modify the landscapes in which we live and work, and how our ideas of nature shape our relationships with the world around us.

"O, it's enough to be on your way.
It's enough just to cover ground.
It's enough to be moving on.
Home: better build it behind your eyes.
Carry it in your heart,
Safe among your own."
—James Taylor, "It's Enough To Be On Your Way"
