Permanent Plots and Repeat photos

One of the best ways to track change is with repeatable measurements. A powerful combination of permanent plots and repeat photos allows us to witness, document, and analyze changes that are otherwise often imperceptible.
My work is inspired by and attempts to build on the efforts of desert ecologists Dr. Ray Turner, Rodney Hasting, and other researchers especially based at the Desert Laboratory on Tumamoc Hill. I have established and am monitoring multiple long-term plots and photo stations throughout the desert.
