BIOGRAPHY
My research focuses on the development of multi-century chronologies of annually resolved tree-ring proxies to reconstruct paleodischarges and climate in boreal river watersheds. I particularly explore how novel applications of flood records from tree rings and quantitative wood anatomy can improve our understanding of paleofloods and their climatic drivers to improve the regional hydroclimatic predictive trajectories in the context of climate change. Since 2023 I’m involved in a project using bristlecone pine from the Rio Grande Headwaters region (Southwestern USA) to develop a temperature reconstruction spanning 2000+ years, augmented with updated and new hydroclimate reconstructions, in order to evaluate long-term, regional temperature and hydroclimate relationships. My other research interests include riparian and inland forest ecology and remote sensing.
