Temporal variation in fruit-feeding forest butterfly communities in Sabah, Borneo.
… in fruit-feeding butterfly communities in Sabah, Borneo. Fruit-baited traps were used to sample butterflies in primary forest and forest that had been selectively logged 11-12 years previously in 1988 and 1989. Traps were hung 1-2m from the ground along four transects in primary and logged forest …

Ambient seismic noise imaging using trans-dimensional and machine learning techniques with application to Borneo and Iceland
… to investigate the crustal structure of northern Borneo, a post-subduction setting in which sequential but opposed subduction systems recently terminated. In this study I used a two-step trans-dimensional method that also included a neural network inversion scheme in the second step. The neural …

Human-rainforest interactions in Island Southeast Asia: Holocene vegetation history in Sarawak (Malaysian Borneo) and Palawan (western Philippines)
… northern Kelabit Highlands of Sarawak, Malaysian Borneo, contain assemblages from 1700 cal BP onwards that are similar to those produced by modern arboriculture; a core from the southern Highlands contains fossil assemblages as old as 2000 cal BP that align with those from modern wet rice paddies. …

Crustal structure and tectonics of Borneo and Sulawesi: results from receiver function analysis and virtual deep seismic sounding
… region of Southeast Asia, which includes Borneo and Sulawesi. Borneo is the 3rd largest island in the world and lies on the eastern margin of Sundaland, the continental core of Southeast Asia, but its intraplate setting means that it has no active volcanoes and little in the way of …

Soil Microbial Diversity and Litter Decomposition Increase with Time Since Land Use Disturbance in Tropical Montane Forests of Malaysian Borneo
<p>Logging and forest conversion are occurring at alarming rates in the tropical forests of Southeast Asia. These disturbances alter soil chemistry, microbial diversity, and disrupt carbon cycling through shifts in litter decomposition. Direct links between microbial diversity and soil properties …

Seismic anisotropy and microseismicity: from crustal formation to subduction termination
… North American and the Eurasian plates. Northern Borneo, conversely, exhibits the tectonic signatures of not one but two terminated subduction zones, where oceanic lithosphere was once being actively recycled into the Earth’s mantle. As part of this work, I have helped to deploy and service two …
