Research Interests
I am a wildlife ecologist interested in predicting how climate change will impact the ecology of arctic-adapted species, and developing models to assess changes in their distribution. I am also interested in understanding how wildlife can influence the vulnerability of permafrost carbon with implication for the global carbon cycle.
