Active projects (ongoing fieldwork and/or publications)

Experimental flooding treatment applied to tundra vegetation

Flooding effects on coastal high-latitude ecosystems

Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta, Alaska | 2022 – 2025 | Fieldwork completed; ongoing publications

This project investigates the effects of increased high-tide flooding, alone and in combination with warming and herbivory, on plant communities and ecosystem processes in lowland wetlands and upland tundra of coastal high-latitude ecosystems.

Winter-icing treatment generated through simulated rain-on-snow events

Multiple climate change effects on Arctic tundra ecosystems

Svalbard, Norway | 2015 – ongoing | Ongoing fieldwork and publications

This project combines several experiments investigating the effects of multiple climate-change drivers, including winter icing, summer warming, and herbivory, on plant communities and ecosystem processes across different habitats in Arctic tundra.

OTCs are used across tundra sites to study climate warming effects (Endalen, Svalbard)

Scaling up: Global ecological syntheses

Tundra biome and global | 2024 – ongoing | Ongoing fieldwork and publications

This line of work contributes to international synthesis initiatives integrating experimental and observational datasets to identify large-scale patterns in micro-environment, functional traits, biodiversity, and ecosystem functioning under climate change.
