Bio
Dr. Martin is an ecosystem scientist with a background in ecology and natural resources. Her research is motivated by the goal of a leafy green future- where the distribution and management of forests on the landscape supports clean, abundant water, and environmental quality for everyone. She and her interdisciplinary research group use fieldwork, databases, spatial analysis, and simulation modeling techniques to understand ecosystem processes now and under changing conditions from local to regional scales.
