Western Altiplano Peatland Productivity

This research project began as part of a Fulbright Study and Research Fellowship in collaboration with the Instituto de Conservación, Biodiversidad y Territorio in Valdivia, Chile and the Laboratorio de Geo-Información y Percepción Remota in Valparaíso, Chile. I used satellite imagery to monitor changes in greenness and to assess how climate factors like temperature and precipitation influence the productivity of the peatlands.

I am a postdoctoral fellow with the NOAA Climate & Global Change Program NOAA Climate & Global Change Program. I am based at the University of California - Los Angeles with the McKinnon Group McKinnon Group. My research focuses on climate variability and change in mountain landscapes across different spatial and temporal scales. I use a variety of data types, from models to satellite imagery, to explore climate impacts in both localized areas and large, multi-country regions.
