Working with a team of researchers from three universities, we aim to better understand multi-trophic consequences of climate change and increasing deciduous shrub cover in the Arctic tundra. Our research focuses on the impacts of changing seasonality in the Alaskan Arctic tundra: from plants, to arthropods, to migratory songbirds. To better understand the interactions between these trophic levels, and the cascading effects of climate change, we use a wide range of techniques, including satellite and in-situ remote sensing techniques; vegetation, migratory songbird community, and arthropod monitoring; and weather, snow-cover, and bioacoustic monitoring.
