I have worked in a technical capacity with a broad array of ecosystem research, from upland catchments to pelagic oceans, centering on interdisciplinary, process-oriented ecology.
Most recently I have been supporting a wide variety of Antarctic research projects in the Southern Ocean and on the Antarctic continent, specializing in the planning and execution of complex, multi-disciplinary projects. Currently I am Project Manager for the Whillans Ice Stream Subglacial Access Research Drilling project, with planned field seasons Nov - Feb 2012/13 and again in 2013/14. We will be the first project to collect comprehensive samples and data from beneath the western margin of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet.
