About me

I work with Dr. Birgit Wild on the PRIMETIME project. I am interested in the carbon allocation and stabilization under various vegetation types in Canadian Arctic. We use stable isotopes to trace the transformation of CO2 from atmosphere through plants into the soil and back to the atmosphere. The Arctic is heaviliy influenced by climate change through rapid biotic and abiotic responses. Our field experiments provide a deep dive in the carbon cycle in these vulnerable ecosystems that rapidly turning from carbon sinks to carbon sources.
