- Analyzed over 300 field surveys from the Canadian Forest Service’s (CFS) National Forest Inventory (NFI), and Ontario Geological Survey’s Peatland Inventory Project- Classified Ontario’s wetlands in terms of hydrology, biodiversity, and carbon stock- Led field investigations to implement a novel experimental design testing the carbon and nitrogen.

Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Ran tutorials, taught seminars, marked assignments, and led fieldwork while teaching the following 3 courses throughout my master’s degree:- GGR308H1F: Canadian Arctic and Subarctic Environments - JEG100H1S: Introduction to Physical Geography and Earth Science - GGR390H1: Field Methods in Physical Geography

Guelph, Ontario, Canada

- Ensured over 1500 soil samples were properly and efficiently processed following the long-term ecological research (LTER) and Canadian soil systems protocols- Planned 2 field outings and helped successfully implement 3 lab experiments

Northwest Territories, Canada

- Worked as part of an 8-person team to evaluate the effects of forest fires on the carbon cycling of peatlands in the Northwest Territories- Gathered ecological data and collected over 150 soil samples from forests and peatland ecosystems using various techniques, such as soil coring, Russian peat borer, frozen finger, and frost probing

Guelph, Ontario, Canada

- Learned the U.S. and Canadian soil classification systems, soil horizon analysis, and plant identification to assess common functional groups of wetlands- Performed biogeochemical analyses of over 1200 soil core samples, including loss on ignition (LOI), C:N ratio, and gas flux measurements
