Having switched focuses to academic study I am employing a mostly remote-sensing methodology to observe the interactions between liana infestations and their host trees.

Research Summary

Currently I am working on the impacts of climate change, specifically rising atmospheric CO2 on lianas in subtropical forests. I am also working on assessing the affects of lianas on tree biomass… read more

Current Research

Currently I am working on the impacts of climate change, specifically rising atmospheric CO₂ on lianas in subtropical forests. I am also working on assessing the affects of lianas on tree biomass allocation pathways using a remote sensing approach.
