Great day at Fire in the Pines Festival in Wilmington, NC (Oct 5). A special thanks to the @NC_TNC Coastal Plains office and Michelle Ly for putting on a wonderful event for all! And thanks to the @ncspacegrant for supporting my research on post-fire vegetation recovery dynamics!
Grateful for the opportunity to conduct research sponsored by the @ncspacegrant!
We are excited to announce our new class of NC Space Grant Graduate Research Fellows! Over the next academic year, they'll be conducting impactful research at universities across the state. Congratulations! 🎉

Moderate Drought (D1) has rushed back into North Carolina as hot, dry weather continues to take a toll on crops, streams, and now some eastern water systems. #ncwx

Happy World Environment Day! We couldn't think of a better way to celebrate than sharing this article by StarNews. Learn more about how the Green Swamp is doing after one year of the Pulp Road Fire, which burned most of the 16,000-acre preserve.

After a few years of hard work, failure, and learning, I've published my first, first author paper investigating phenological and stomatal responses to flash drought in the @EGU_HESS special issue Drought, society, and ecosystems. Give it a read. hess.copernicus.org/articles…

Fabulous end of semester surprise! Our chair, Rob Erhardt, and Emily Huang gave us a duet! 🎶 Love having talented colleagues!
Some forests need fire. Left: wide-open longleaf pine savanna subject to prescribed burning shows resiliency to wildfire. Right: denser, pocosin bog burned more during wildfire. Green Swamp Nature Preserve, July 2023, one month after wildfire. #AGUOpenScience

If you/your department are looking for seminar speakers this fall, I have two great postdocs that will be on the job market and they want to visit your campus! It is expensive to bring speakers to campus but I'll cover their travel costs! But there is a catch... (1/4)

Having a great time at this workshop! The early career breakout was very good and gave me a shot of enthusiasm for #OpenScience It’s great to have so many scientists and data experts here visiting @UNDATSC @UofNorthDakota
Just presented on vegetation response to fire at the @iFireNet_NSF 2022 Summer School. Thank you to @SeaGrantNC @ncspacegrant for supporting this work and to @NC_TNC @ncforestservice @NCWildlife for partnering with us.
