Research Interest

Bio

I am a first year PhD student with Natalie Boelman studying how climate change affects the distribution and characteristics of Arctic vegetation. In particular, I work as part of the Evolving Meta-Ecosystems Institute (EVoME) to study the effects of willow shrub (Salix spp.) variation on riparian ecosystems in northern Alaska. My research utilizes a combination of field work, remotely sensed data, and statistical models.
