Current projects:

• Investigating growth and reproductive performance of Weinmannia species (common cloud forest trees) across an elevational gradient in southeastern Peru through plot-level surveys, seed trapping, dendrochronology, and reciprocal transplants
• Transplanting epiphytes across an elevational gradient in southeastern Peru to experimentally determine the effects of predicted climate change on these species
• Using herbarium records and tree plot data from an elevational transect of 1 hectare tree plots to investigate elevational ranges of trees in Costa Rica.
• Inferring lake level and climate for the past 15,000 years using a carbonate record of Lago Pacucha, a lake in southeastern Peru

Past projects:

• Evaluation of ecological community mapping using the National Vegetation Classification System at the Lake Umbagog National Wildlife Refuge (Master’s thesis)
• Epiphyte diversity of Shola forests in the Talacauvery Wildlife Sanctuary, Western Ghats, India
