I am an ecohydrologist who studies the interaction between terrestrial ecosystems and the atmosphere. I am particularly interested in how the amplified warming and changing hydrology of the Arctic-Boreal region affects terrestrial greenhouse gas exchange, including the carbon loss from permafrost thaw. In my research, I draw from a long experience in studying northern ecosystems in areas such as northeast Siberia, Greenland, Scandinavia and Svalbard. I use this broad field experience to derive new insights from satellite data and to advance model development.
