I am an ecosystem and remote sensing scientist, focused on evaluating interactions between plants, climate, people, and the environment across spatial scales. Through my research, I aim to address how natural and urban landscapes are changing in response to climate and human activities, thus far fitting within a few interlocking themes: drought, urban ecology, seasonal changes and phenology, the carbon cycle, and land cover change. I received my PhD in Geography from UC Santa Barbara, and I am currently a postdoctoral scholar at UC Berkeley in the Department of Environmental Science, Policy, and Management working with Trevor Keenan.
