Hydrology, climate change, hydrometeorology, remote sensing, modeling and data analytics.
I’m excited about empirically based, theoretically grounded, and societally attuned science! My research goals are to assess climate change impacts on water availability, to measure and model ecohydrologic cold region processes across scales, and to develop approaches in collaboration with diverse stakeholder groups to inform sustainable adaptation and decision strategies.
I am committed to building a diverse research community, where everyone feels they belong, and we collectively benefit from our differences. I am motivated by the excitement of scientific discovery and the thrill of collaborative research. Efforts to be more inclusive will improve our knowledge and better serve the decisions of individuals and organizations. I believe these efforts can foster better outcomes for society and our environment.

The Arctic Rivers Project: A co-produced assessment of the climate sensitivity of Alaskan & Yukon rivers and fish to support resilient communities
Northern communities in Alaska and Canada rely upon rivers to access fishing and hunting grounds and to transport supplies. As the Arctic and its rivers continue to warm, the ultimate impacts on people, their fisheries and winter travel corridors are highly uncertain. Improved understanding of the ongoing and possible future changes requires close partnership among Indigenous groups and researchers from diverse scientific disciplines. I present the Arctic Rivers Project, which strives toÌýincrease collective understanding of the impacts of climate change on rivers, fish, and Indigenous communities across Alaska and the Yukon River Basin. This is accomplished through Indigenous community-based monitoring, a chain of multidisciplinary models, and the development of narratives of change from community members themselves. We present a framework and model data that are being used to craft storylines of Arctic change and resilience. The storylines approach is designed to combine experiential narrative information with diverse quantitative model output to make the simulated future conditions more tangible and applicable to adaptation planning.
