About

I am interested to better understand ecosystem functioning to solve applied environmental management and conservation issues.

My research is interdisciplinary and aims to create space for a multiplicity of knowledges (Indigenous, local, scientific) in a perspective of ecological and social justice. Spatial modeling is my tool of predilection, which I use to synthesize complex information at the landscape to regional scale.

Research

My research focuses on the impact of climate change and anthropogenic activities on plant communities, herbivores, and humans in Arctic and Alpine ecosystems. Ongoing projects focus on changes in plant communities in the southwest Coast Mountains, scientific and Indigenous knowledge of berries in the Canadian North as well as plant-animal interactions in Iceland. My research methods include terrestrial vegetation and environmental surveys as well as interviews with Indigenous and local knowledge holders.  I am an active member of the International Tundra Experiment (ITEX) and the Herbivory Network.
