What coast live oaks do when the water runs out — measured at the scale of a single tree.
My work sits where ecohydrology, remote sensing and applied engineering
overlap. In practice that means I design and deploy the instruments that
generate my data, then process the result on UCSB's HPC cluster. The
fieldwork and the computation are the same project; treating them
separately is how you end up with a beautiful pipeline fed by a sensor
that stopped reporting in March.
Undergraduate projects that had little in common except a sensor, a field site, and a question about a living system.
