I research climate change impacts on trace gas exchange from natural and managed ecosystems. My primary experience focuses on trace gas fluxes from Arctic and high-latitude ecosystems. I am currently leading a build out of a greenhouse gas monitoring network targeting the most underrepresented areas of the Arctic-boreal region. In my postdoc at the University of New Hampshire, I used the denitrification and decomposition (DNDC) model to understand carbon and nitrogen exchanges in agricultural systems. We sought to build soil carbon while limiting greenhouse gas emissions in organic dairy systems. For my PhD dissertation, I researched non-growing season carbon flux dynamics at Arctic tundra sites on the Alaskan North Slope, working with eddy covariance, remote sensing, while providing support on projects in various systems including mangroves, chaparrals, and coral reefs. I have worked on toxicology and environmental risk assessments of superfund sites from my time as an environmental consultant in the private sector and am interested in interdisciplinary work and outreach to remedy and understand global climate and pollutant issues.
