INTERESTS:

I’m interested in lake sediments and physical lake processes, especially in the Arctic. My work has focused on linking sedimentation to lake conditions, waterhshed processes, and climate and weather.

For my Masters degree, I studied Bear Lake, Devon Island with Dr. Robert Gilbert and Dr. Scott Lamoureux at Queen’s University, Kingston. I am currently studying Lake Tuborg, Ellesmere Island under Dr. Raymond S. Bradley at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst.
