Graduate Research Topic
- Study site: northern hardwood forests in Bartlett, Jeffers Brook, and Hubbard Brook in NH.

Throughout history, forest ecosystems have provided human communities with a multitude of products, services, and values, including energy sources, structural materials, food, clean water, and important spiritual, cultural, and aesthetic values. My broad interests lie in understanding how the conservation and management of forestlands can continue to provide a diverse suite of goods and services, including both commodities and ecosystem services, as both the physical environment and human needs change and evolve over time.
Graduate Research Topic
The impacts of specific silvicultural systems, particularly those intended to produce biomass for energy production, on the provision of energy feedstocks and other commodities, as well as a broad suite of ecosystem services over time. ESF Willow Project

My research is focused on the hydrology and biogeochemistry of the Adirondacks and how greenhouse gas dynamics vary based on the geomorphology of the landscape. I will explore potential regulators of greenhouse gas emissions at the soil-atmosphere interface and use GIS to identify expected hot spots for biogeochemical activity in two adjacent watersheds.

I am an outdoor lover with the goal to become an ADK 46er within the next 5 years. To me, nothing beats a full day of skiing or a long weekend camping.
I currently work for an environmental consulting firm where my technical writing primarily focuses on ecological risk assessments and Environmental Assessments in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). My field efforts with the company have included benthic tissue sampling, water quality monitoring, as well as surface water and sediment sampling. Favorite Quote

Undergraduate Institute: Pontifica University of Catolica de Ch Graduate Research Topic
I'm interested in drivers and consequences of Land-use and land-cover change (LULCC). In particular I'm interested in the ongoing process of LUCC in south central Chile. In the last 40 years exotic tree plantations have expanded rapidly over eroded soils and farmlands and now are becoming a representative land use in the region. Nevertheless, political positions in regards to this change are diverse among different stakeholder. On the other hand, I am interested the landscape consequences of this change in land use over environmental variables such as soil quality, biodiversity and fire probability. My main goal is to understand the human-natural interaction in this system and how this interaction can be sustained in the long-term.

I am looking at the hydrological and biogeochemical functioning of riparian zones across a geomorphic gradient, with the primary goal of understanding the potential interactions between N, S, Fe, P, C, CO2, CH4 and N2O dynamics in these systems. I hope this research enhances riparian management by expanding our knowledge of both nutrient cycling and riparian greenhouse gas emission.
