EDUCATION

B.A. Brown University, 2000, Geology/Biology and Computer Music

SUBFIELDS

Hydroclimatology, biogeochemical cycles, remote sensing, disease vectors

RESEARCH

My research interests are in land-atmosphere transfer processes and the synergy between the hydrologic and carbon biogeochemical cycles. I am currently investigating these phenomena in Cameroon, Central Africa, in collaboration with colleagues from the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology who are researching the population genomics of the malaria vector Anopheles gambiae.
