Research

I am researching ecosystem-level responses to climate change in the Canadian Low Arctic, under the supervison of Dr. Paul Grogan. I am especially interested in exploring the effects of increased snowfall on nutrient aquisition throughout the growing season. In doing so, I would like to describe how changes in annual productivity relate to net carbon balance in birch hummock tundra.
