Research Interests
My research interests focus on the historical and cultural geography of
the Rocky Mountain West. Recent projects include an edited volume on
the "Mountainous West" which explores how historical geographers can
contribute to a greater understanding of western issues and geography.
Colorado has been another setting for several projects that center
around the process of human landscape evolution in the West. Montana
interests include a focus on changing population trends in the state
and how people historically have modified the region's diverse and
fragile environment.
