Josh Hashemi
PhD student
Josh is interested in the sub-surface and ecosystem scale processes controlling CH4 emission from Arctic ecosystems
Macall Hock
PhD student
Macall is interested in the carbon loss from tundra ecosystems into the Arctic Ocean following permafrost degradation
Kassandra Reuss-Schmidt
PhD student
Kassandra Reuss-Schmidt taking DGPS points at Ivotuck as ground-truthing for a land cover classification. She works primarily on relating methane and carbon dioxide fluxed to remotely sense satellite data via eddy-covariance tower footprint modeling
Jessica Plein
Lab manager
Jessica is helping us to manage the lab supporting students’ projects and helping with both the financial and research requirements of the grants
Alyssa Mease
Lab manager
Alyssa is helping us with the data processing of our sites in Alaska, and with managing the lab
Michael Trunkhill
Master student
Michael is studying how the health of coral reef is affecting CO2 fluxes from coastal ecosystems in American Samoa, and is collaborating with NOAA to identify critical areas of coral stress
Francia Tenorio
Master student
Francia is interested in the using remote sensing and ground base mapping to quantify the extent and climate impact of thermokarst affected features on greenhouse gas emission
Kevin Gonzalez
Master student
Kevin is studying the sensitivity of the carbon stored in the permafrost to climate change in the Arctic
Nina Chestnut
undergraduate research assistant
Nina is helping us with the field work in Alaska, and with data processing of the arctic data
