We created this blog to have a space we can use to keep an informal progress report on the field work the Lab is doing in the Sonoran Desert. It's a way to share updates on weather, conditions, and stories coming out of the field.

After Karen (one of our co-workers) threatened to write my bio for me, I thought I would beat her to the punch. I grew up in Ontario, Canada and after finishing my undergraduate degree, the first field job I was offered happened to be in New Mexico. Traveling around, I grew to love the Southwest. I've since worked in the Sonoran, the Mojave, the Colorado Plateau and finally in the northern reaches of the Great Basin where I did my Master's research. My graduate work focused on the impacts of cheatgrass on small mammals. After finishing, my partner and I decided we wanted to move back to the Southwest, and we are currently living in Los Alamos, NM (yes, home of the atomic bomb-weird town, but great outdoor access). I tried to find a somewhat humorous photo and ended up with me and Elvis in Vegas (and then reconsidered, but can't figure out how to change it). Looking forward to meeting everyone!
