I am most interested in understanding how climate change is affecting watersheds. A watershed is an area of land from which all of the water drains into one stream or river. Specifically, I am interested in watersheds with forests during the winter. This work has included efforts at various sites in the northeast United States including Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest and Huntington Forest. I am also studying the effect of climate change in East Asia. Most recently, I have been working on a project at Lake Hovsgol in northern Mongolia.
