Biography

I am an Assistant Teaching Professor in the Department of Geography. I teach undergraduate level courses with a focus on physical geography. My research interests center around plant functional trait expression and how these traits change in response to environmental conditions, specifically in the context of plant-soil interactions within organic agriculture applications. My recent research has explored carbon fluxes in natural and managed environments, looking at a suite of potential future climate scenarios and how these might alter net carbon fluxes in critical ecosystems such as peatlands and boreal forest areas.
