FORMAL TEACHING:
2001-ongoing. Yale University courses taught every academic year:
Growth and Development of Forest Stands. Principal instructor. An introduction to the study of forest
stand dynamics, including the mechanisms and pathways of forest development and the role of
natural and human disturbances on forest composition and structure.(40 lecture hrs; 4 field days).
Forest Health Principal instructor, with several invited speakers who are forest health researchers or
practitioners. An introduction to biotic and abiotic agents affecting the health and productivity of
forested ecosystems, including insects, pathogens, exotic invasive species, acid deposition, and
climate change. Emphasis is on the ecological roles and impacts of disturbance agents, how they
affect sustainability, and when and how management can be used to return forests to healthier
conditions. (40 lecture hrs; 3 field days).
Fire Science and Policy. Principal instructor. The course examines the ecological, social, and policy
implications of forest and grassland fire. Use of fire as a tool for silviculture and forest restoration is
covered. Weather permitting, the class participates in a prescribed burn at the Yale Myers Forest to
achieve a desired management objective. (40 lecture hrs; 3 field days).
Seminar on Invasive Species Biology and Ecology Principal instructor with Mary Tyrrell. The
seminar focuses on the biology and ecology of invasive species, including the impact of invasive
species on disturbance regimes, human and ecosystem health. Policy, economic, and ethical
issues with respect to invasive species are also explored. (40 lecture hrs; 3 field days)
Methods of Ecosystem Analysis. With Tom Siccama.. A course that exposes students to ecosystemlevel questions and some methods for collecting and analyzing data to answer those questions. (40
lecture hrs; 10 field days) (2001-2004)
