Research Interests:
Physiological processes, especially water and carbon relations, at whole tree and forest ecosystem scales. Development of new tools and techniques for measuring and monitoring physiological processes in forests.
Current Research:
Lead PI of the H.J. Andrews LTER Program. Elucidating the mechanisms responsible for growth decline in aging forests. Assessment of impacts of exotic pine plantations on hydrological cycles in Patagonia. Analyses of nocturnal cold-air drainage systems in mountain ecosystems, and using measurements of isotopes of respired carbon dioxide carried in these air drainage systems as indicators of physiological processes on the small watershed scale. Development of a new approach in wireless sensor networks that will allow sensors to operate without batteries.
