CV

I earned my PhD under James H. Brown at the University of New Mexico (completed spring 2007). My dissertation, "Rates of ecosystem and community change during succession", used a mathematical, macroecological approach to understand how rates of succession vary across climates and over the course of succession.

I am currently doing a postdoc with Marcy Litvak at the University of New Mexico. We are utilizing a series of 6 eddy-covariance towers along anelevational gradient to study effects of climate on ecosystem functioning.

Specifically, I am interested in differential responses of production andrespiration to temperature and precipitation over short and long timescales."
