AGU 2021 Poster Presentation
Carbon accounting of ponderosa pine forests across the interior western U. S. based on tree-ring and forest inventory data
I enjoyed interacting with all of the AGU 2021 participants–both in-person and virtual! I presented a poster on Tuesday on some of my work fusing tree ring and forest inventory data in a Bayesian state-space model framework to forecast tree diameter and diameter increment in ponderosa pine forests in Arizona (accepted in Global Change Biology, keep an eye out for it soon!), and the next steps we are taking to scale these forecasts to tree and plot-level aboveground biomass (+ uncertainty) in the Interior West US.

Postdoctoral Research Associate
My research aims to understand and forecast the response of vegetation to multiple environmental changes from the tree to biome scales. This ecological forecasting approach allows us make predictions about future vegetation, with the overall goal of managing systems for a resilient future.
