Research Interests:
I am broadly interested in examining the physiological mechanisms plants use to acclimate and adapt to climate change and how these may affect global carbon and water fluxes. I am especially interested in utilizing stable isotope techniques to understand plant processes, such as photosynthesis and stomatal conductance, and how they are altered under elevated carbon dioxide and temperature.
