In the third of LLCT’s winter zooms, Emerson Conrad-Rooney, a Ph.D. candidate at Boston University will share interesting highlights from their current research.
Emerson Conrad-Rooney (they/them) is a Ph.D. Candidate at Boston University in the Biology Department and received their BA from Wellesley College in Biological Sciences. They are interested in studying how disturbances such as climate change, urbanization, and invasive insects impact forest ecosystems in the northeastern U.S. and their ability to grow and store carbon. Emerson’s dissertation focuses on how climate change throughout the year — both warmer summers and less snowpack in winter — affects forest ecosystems.
This is a free zoom and all are welcome.
