Bio
I am a Research Assistant Professor in the Institute of Northern Engineering at the University of Alaska Fairbanks. Prior to joining UAF, I worked at the U.S. Geological Survey Alaska Science Center in Anchorage, Alaska between June 2005, and June 2018 as a Research Geographer.
Interests
Permafrost, Physical Science, Interdisciplinary Research
Science Specialties
Arctic, GIS, Landscape Change, Permafrost, Remote Sensing, Thermokarst
Current Research
My research focuses on Arctic and Sub-Arctic Systems and combines the use of GIS and remote sensing techniques with field observations and laboratory analyses to better understand the causes and consequences of landscape change, processes, and feedbacks in northern high latitude environments across a multitude of spatial and temporal scales. I specialize in observing, understanding, and interpreting present as well as past permafrost region landscape dynamics and the various landscape-level impacts to hydrological, ecological, social, and physical systems.
