I am studying for my doctoral degree in the Botany Department here in
Madison, Wisconsin. Previously I studied the recovering vegetation on Mt.
St. Helens, WA; plant community responses to prescribed burning in Northern
Arizona; and did vegetation surveys in Arizona for the SW Regional GAP
vegetation mapping program. Now I support myself by teaching
introductory Botany, Ecology and through research in pollen and charcoal
analysis. I am looking into the possible
interaction between jack pine trees, population outbreaks of caterpillars
that feed on them, and wild fire during different periods of climatic change
and variability. |
