Climate change, tree ecophysiology 

My research focuses on how the changing climate affects wintertime physiology of trees. Particularly I am currently studying the effect of freezing and thawing on trees and the future  concenquences of global warming in the northern forests.

Methane cycling in a Northern Boreal Watershed

My thesis topic is studying methane cycling in a Northern Boreal Watershed. As part of this project, I am conducting chemical and microbial analysis. Methane is a powerful greenhouse gas and understanding its cycles in an important part of calculating global budgets and the impact it has on climate change.
