I design and build low-cost and autonomous instruments to measure greenhouse gas emissions from small water bodies, like lakes, ponds, and reservoirs. This equipment is deployed in both the Amazon and the Arctic to better understand and predict drivers of aquatic carbon dioxide and methane emissions over space and time.
Prior to joining Woodwell Climate, I completed a master’s degree, studying methane production and consumption in estuaries and their response to sea level rise. My experience is rooted in biochemistry and I have a longstanding fascination with the way tiny microbes facilitate global carbon cycling. I hope my work building automated measurement equipment will improve data collection on these processes, especially in remote areas of the Amazon and the Arctic where manual measurements can be expensive and time consuming.
In my spare time, I enjoy hiking, mountain biking, boogie boarding, and card games.
