Research

I am an applied geophysicist with an interest in using geophysical tools under field conditions to investigate hydrological, permafrost and biogeoscience research questions. The areas that I am currently focused on are:

1. Permafrost thaw and vunerability with a focus on lakes and the active layer
2. Linking geophysical observations with hydrologic models in mountain catchments
3. Geophysical method developmentto improve observation of hydrologic properties
