I'm a research scientist whose interests span ecosystems ecology, biogeochemistry, environmental anthropology, and social hydrology. I most often ask questions about how we shape ecosystems through management and how ecosystems shape us through the biophysical and cultural services they provide. I recently completed my Ph.D. in integrative biology and am now a post-doctoral research scientist at the University of Vermont in the Climate Measurements Center of Excellence.
