Worked on a project observing the effects of extreme heat events on desert plants along an elevational gradient as well as the effects of extreme heat events and plant recovery. As part of the fieldwork, I gained experience identifying, collecting, and flagging plants using field guides. I have also utilized tools such as a pressure bomb, LI-COR, thermal camera, porometer, sap flow monitor, Image J, and various scales to aid in the gathering and computing of data for the project. Additionally, I collaborated with a fellow intern to run a 4-day minimum conductance experiment that we tailored to meet the physiology of desert plants.

Co-lead work parties of around 15 people demonstrating which plants to remove and how to use the various tools, created 10 signs on native plants to be added to a small trail, and wrote two newsletters.
