I am a Research Scientist in the Climate Processes section of Environment and Climate Change Canada based at the Canadian Centre for Climate Modelling and Analysis (CCCma).

I am also an Adjunct Assistant Professor in the School of Earth and Ocean Sciences at the University of Victoria (CA) where I occasionally teach as a sessional lecturer.

I am interested in interactions between the climate system, carbon cycle, and terrestrial vegetation in the past, present and future. 

While my present research uses terrestrial ecosystem models, much of  my past work and background is in the lab and the field.
