Can you summarize your research in a simple way?
I use images of the landscape, collected with drones, to identify vegetation in the Arctic and monitor how the landscape is changing due to climate change.
How long have you conducted fieldwork?
I have conducted fieldwork in various locations for more than ten years.
Where have you conducted fieldwork? Which was your favorite?
I have conducted fieldwork in northern New Hampshire, northern Alberta and the Northwest Territories of Canada, Scandinavia and New Zealand. It's hard to pick a favorite, though spending a year in New Zealand on a research project was very special.
What is your favorite part about conducting fieldwork?
One of my favorite parts of fieldwork is traveling to different places and seeing the connections in the landscape. The places I visited in northern Canada and Scandinavia had so many similarities, despite being so far away from each other!
