ecophysiologist broadly interested in how local meteorology and climate
variability impact plant function and distributions. The focus of my research
is on understanding the influence of coastal fog on plant water and carbon
relations in both natural and managed ecosystems. I use a variety of research
techniques, including field-based ecological studies, controlled manipulative
experiments, and spatial analyses to address research questions at multiple
spatial and temporal scales."</span><span></span></font></p><font size="2">
