Hey there,

​

My name's Amy and I'm a postdoc at the University of British Columbia in the Faculty of Forestry, Department of Forest Resources Management. I'm part of the Silva21 project, funded by the NSERC Alliance Grant Research Program. I'm co-supervised by Dr. Nicholas Coops (UBC) and Dr. Alexis Achim (ULaval).

​

As part of Silva21, I work in collaboration with experts on climate modeling to produce consistent, fine resolution and spatially-explicit climate layers of historic trends and future projections for key variables at 12 research forests across Canada. I assess likely changes in climate at each site, providing insights into how the drivers of tree growth are likely to evolve over time. Once these consistent layers have been produced, I will utilize state-of-the-art species distribution and stand dynamics modelling approaches to map the current and future growth trends of key production species at each Hub, as well as the non-conventional timber species important for First Nations communities.

 

When I'm not at school, you can find me at a local CrossFit gym or exploring BC to balance out patio beers and restaurant-exploring. I also work as a nutrition coach and help local businesses manage their social media.

​

I look forward to adding more content to my website, as my academic career progresses, so be sure to check back soon!

​

Talk soon,

​

Amy.
