Arctic

This page brings together all my Arctic work in one spot.

I have lived and worked in the Arctic in various capacities over the years starting in 2010 (+ interior Alaska first in 2006).

This has included:
Living in Iceland from 2023-2024 as a Fulbright Scholar
Spending summer 2021 primarily in Greenland and briefly in Iceland on two related project grants
Research work in Gates of the Arctic National Park in 2016 + 2018
Working in Gates of the Arctic National Park in 2010 + volunteering in 2022
Attending and presenting at the 2023 Arctic Circle Assembly in Reykjavik, Iceland

Arctic Photography
