Description of scientific projects
I use tree-rings to study have a changing climate impacts forest growth. Further, I examine how changes in the species makeup or diversity impact how a forest may respond to changes in climatic conditions. The ultimate goal is to understand how vulnerable or resilient forests are, using tree growth as one possible metric.
