Young researcher interested in forest resilience research, in particular boreal forests. I am studying the impact of climate change and perturbations on boreal forests. Specifically, I am interested in how boreal forests conditions change with climate change and to what extent boreal forests can recover from perturbations, such as droughts, fires, and insect outbreaks.
I use both fieldwork (e.g. data on recovering trees and new tree seedlings or tree ring data) and remote sensing products from satellites or airplanes to answer my research questions.
