MSc Student
Simulating soggy landscapes to see how nature’s sponges (a.k.a. peatlands) in mountain valleys soak up extra flows post-logging.
MSc Student
Pushing beaver engineering to the limit to discover just how much pressure these paddle-tailed architects' creations can weather before going with the flow
MSc Student
Unpacking beaver responses to pond levelers—because even nature’s best engineers might not always love a retrofit.
MSc Student
Unraveling how beaver engineering rewrites the chemical script and green palette of pond life.
