Andrés Holz and his students conduct use-inspired science and support translational research in the areas of vegetation dynamics and disturbance ecology (fire, insect outbreaks, volcanic eruptions, and other disturbances), landscape ecology, land-use change, forest policy, and management practices, and rely on cross-scale approaches that include dendrochronology, GIS and remote sensing, statistical and process-based modeling, and paleoecology.
He teaches courses on Physical Geography, Forest Ecology, Wildfire Ecology and Management (field-based and summer only), Landscape Ecology, and Research Methods.
When not working, he enjoys hiking and camping in the woods with his family, gardening, reading, or playing music.
