Research Interests

My research focuses on the response of tree growth to variable climate conditions and topographic positions in Gordon Gulch, a montane catchment of Boulder Creek Watershed, Colorado. I look at how climate and topographic variables as well as physiological response to these variables can be used to predict lodgepole and ponderosa pine annual growth at the catchment scale.
