Modeling Sustainability of Annual and Perennial Cropping Systems in Eastern Wyoming

I presented on my perennial grain drought response research at the 2022 Early Career Perennial Grain Researchers Workshop at the Land Institute in Salina, KS

Linking Plant-Scale Processes to Ecosystem Function: PhD Proposal Defense Seminar

I gave my PhD proposal defense seminar today! I presented on my research for the weekly University of Wyoming Botany Department seminar series. Here you’ll find a recording of my talk as well as a link to my slides.

Botany Seminar Slides

The Ewers lab group gave a seminar to the UW botany department. See the slides here

Eddy Covariance Preprocessing Pipeline

Building a high-throughput data pipeline to process high frequency eddy covariance data from the US-CPk Ameriflux site.

Modeling Kernza Drought Response

Studying how process models can be used to predict ecological consequences of different plant physiologies, especially with respect to drought resistance and perenniality in eastern Wyoming dryland grain agriuculture.

Snowmelt Energy Budget Imbalances

Studying how imbalances in the surface energy budget at mountainous eddy covariance sites can help constrain springtime ecosystem water budgets.

Understanding ecosystem processes in the subalpine forests of Wyoming and Colorado under synergistic disturbances from bark beetles, wildfire, and climate change
