Can you summarize your research in a simple way?

I study how snow and ice is changing in the mountains in a warming world, and ask “will these changes dry up our water supplies downstream?” Outside of research, I am often in the field with an organization that uses remote wilderness as a facilitator for leadership development and building effective teams.

How long have you conducted fieldwork?

20 years.

Where have you conducted fieldwork? Which was your favorite?

For research: Central Asia and Eastern Himalaya, Peruvian Andes, US Intermountain West. For leadership development training: Alaska, British Columbia, Patagonia, outback Australia, South Island of New Zealand, Lapland of Norway, and across the Western US.

What is your favorite part about conducting fieldwork?

Being part of a high-functioning team out in the middle of the wilderness because I love the empowering feeling of being so productive, resilient, and connected to others in harsh, resource-limited environments.
