Matrix Metrics

I am actively developing this site. Come back soon for updates!

Ecological and social systems are critically interconnected in the landscape. In the vocabulary of landscape and agro-ecology, the landscape matrix describes parts of the landscape where people and nature interact. As a scientist and researcher, I value metrics as tools for quantifying the observable world around me in hopes of better understanding it. Matrix metrics has a nice alliterative ring to it.

As a landscape ecologist, I want to understand certain things about the landscape matrix – how we humans impact it, how the natural systems within it support us, and how we can support it. I am committed to using my expertise to find solutions that support a sustainable and functioning matrix, which are responsive to local communities, support people’s health and needs, and restore natural systems.
