I am a remote sensing ecologist interested in understanding how polar ecosystems are changing and how to use satellite data to detect it. Currently, I am looking what optical and synthetic aperture radar satellite data can tell us about vegetation change on the Southern Ocean Islands, as part of Securing Antarctica’s Environmental Future.

In the past, I have used satellite data and water balance models to project climate change impacts on primary productivity in U.S. National Parks, taught wildlife ecology in Yellowstone National Park, monitored water quality (and measured tiny Mysis shrimp) at Flathead Lake Biological Station, dug some deep snow pits on the Juneau Icefield, and evaluated and bias-corrected satellite precipitation data across Canada and Alaska.

In my real life, I like to play ultimate, spend time outside, do crafts, and make art. I live in Brisbane and am a passionate former resident of Missoula and Seattle. This website is a work in progress and new content may be added soon…
