Over the last three years of my PhD, I have been working with Anangu researching why ecologically and culturally significant plants are dying during extreme heatwaves and drought
Pollinators are essential to plant reproduction, community structure, and ecosystem health, but those inhabiting alpine environments face strong thermal constraints.
Over the course of my PhD, I have had the pleasure of working in Australia's sub-alpine grasslands investigating the effects of heat and drought on plant functioning and carbon cycling.
