Research Interests:
I have been assisting Dan Fagre with research projects associated with the Climate Change in Mountain Ecosystems Program since 1997. My experience has spanned a diverse array of assignments such as maintaining remote weather stations, conducting snow surveys, monitoring UV radiation, surveying amphibian populations, repeat photography, GIS applications, graphics production and administrative assistance. As I've witnessed Glacier National Park's glaciers recede, awareness of climate change has taken hold across the globe. Deciphering how mountain ecosystems respond to climate change has been the guiding theme of the research I've been part of. Recently, my work has focused on providing scientific understanding and resources to the public, directly or through our website. Whether taking precision measurements of glacier margins or creating a useful website, it has been a pleasure to assist with efforts to increase our understanding of the effects of climate change in this beautiful corner of the world.
