Our understanding of how species will respond to climate change is often limited by a lack of knowledge regarding the physiological and genetic capacity necessary to respond to such shifts. Primarily working in salamanders, my dissertation projects integrate remote sensing, ecological data, genomics, and evolutionary experiments to develop mechanistic understandings of local adaptation and potential future climatic vulnerability.
