About
I am a PhD student in Soils and Biogeochemistry at UC Davis working with Dr. Rebecca Lybrand. My research aims to develop quantitative, multiscale approaches to understand how environmental and management factors regulate biological contributions to soil biogeochemistry and soil health in coastal temperate rainforests. I combine field-based quantitative photography with high-resolution imaging to link root and fungal networks to mineral weathering, soil aggregation, and soil health metrics. My fieldwork has led me to ecosystems from the Sonoran Desert to glacial landscapes in Alaska, and I am excited to continue exploring the world beneath our feet!
