I am driven by questions of organismal physiology; specifically, adaptations of animals to extreme environments and organismal responses to changing environments. Most projects are highly collaborative, interdisciplinary and consist of both field and laboratory components. Current field research projects are being conducted in Arctic Alaska, the Bering Strait Region, the Gulf of Alaska, Peninsula Valdez, the high Andes and desert regions of NW Argentina, the Atlantic Forest of Brazil, and various locales of Arizona. In this site, you can find information about my lab\u2019s current and past projects as well as information on how to contact me regarding research or education opportunities.<\/p>\n
