Climate change impacts, mitigation, and adaptation

My research team studies the effects of climate change on plant and ecosystem processes and biological communities, meteorology and ecohydrology, and development of new technologies to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions. Our work invovles a variety of scales and approaches to help adapt to challenging meteorological conditions driven by increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

Some of the topics that we are interested in include:

Plant physiological ecology
Biogeochemistry
Water relations
Energy budgets
Precipitation patterns
Alpine Ecology
Desert ecology
Fire ecology
Rangeland ecology
Snow ecology
Remote sensing
Sensor development
Solar energy
Wireless sensor networks
