Dr. Tamlin Pavelsky
I am a doctoral student working with Dr. Tamlin Pavelsky in the Global Hydrology Lab. My research involves using remote sensing to understands trends in regional lake hydrology with a focus on its relationship to permafrost extent within the arctic. Outside of my academic life, I ride bikes with friends, promote outdoor recreation, try to cook the occasional good meal, and relax with a good book when time allows.
