Research Interests

I am an Earth System scientist studying plant-based processes occurring within the surface boundary layer. The overall goal of my research is to better understand the range of responses of past, present and future vegetation to different climate-forcing variables, including vegetation feedbacks on climate such as moisture, heat and carbon exchange. I address research questions over various temporal and spatial scales and although I predominantly use computer models, I am in the process of building a field component to complement modelling interests.
