Academic Background
B.Sc.G.Sc.(Maj.), University of Manitoba, (2016) - Geology, Minor in Entomology
Research Interests
I primarily work with arctic sediments in order to identify the systems dispositional rate and organic contribution to the sediments. I also analyze sediments and molluscs for total mercury in areas that are at risk of contamination. I have an interest in studying paleoclimatic conditions in the arctic as well as studying insect-plant coevolution and insect speciation due to climate change.
