About
I am a Postdoctoral Fellow with the USDA California Climate Hub and John Muir Institute for the Environment at the University of California Davis, and currently serving as Acting Coordinator for the USDA California Climate Hub. My research interests are in applied climatology, specifically focusing on issues surrounding perennial agriculture in a changing climate. More broadly, I am interested in the nexus of climate change and geography, and I have published research on biogeography, species distribution modeling, and changing geographic patterns of climatic indices and climate extremes. Beyond research, I have published a number of translational works (e.g. fact sheets, interactive story maps, and blog posts) for broad audiences and am currently developing climate change adaptation resources products for technical assistance providers working with California specialty crop producers.
Prior to UC Davis, I was most recently a postdoc in the Climatology Lab, housed in the Department of Geography at the University of Idaho. I have also previously held positions as an Assistant Professor of Geoscience at Salt Lake Community College in Salt Lake City, Utah; and as a GIS and Natural Resources Specialist at Sperry Ridge in Eugene, Oregon. I hold a PhD from the Department of Geography at the University of Idaho in Moscow, Idaho; an MS from the Department of Geoscience at Oregon State University in Corvallis, Oregon; and an AB from the Department of Earth and Environment at Mount Holyoke College in South Hadley, Massachusetts.
