Dr. Andrés Holz studies the causes and consequences of climate variability and human activity on ecological change and disturbances in temperate forests, primarily in the west of the Americas, Australia and New Zealand.

Holz’s research group conducts use-inspired science and supports 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 relies on cross-scale approaches that include statistical and process-based modeling, dendrochronology, GIS and remote sensing, and paleoecology.
