Laura Green
Laura completed her undergraduate degree at the University of New Mexico. Her master thesis research combines leaf level gas exchange and fluorescence imaging to understand dynamic stomatal responses to interruption of the leaf vascular system.
Juliana Medeiros, M.S.
Juliana completed her undergraduate and master's degree in Biology at the University of New Mexico. Her master's thesis research in the lab addressed hydraulic differences between large and small size classes of Larrea tridentata at the Sevilleta LTER. Her dissertation research addresses the interaction of drought and freezing stress on water transport and photosynthesis in North and South American populations of L. tridentata. She is currently a NSF GK-12 Teaching Fellow, working with middle school science teachers in Belen, NM.
Teresa Newberry, M.S.
Teresa completed her undergraduate degree at San Jose State and her master's degree at the University of Michigan. She is presently a lecturer in Environmental Sciences at Northern Arizona University. Her dissertation research, initiated with Charles Wisdom and Jim Gosz, addresses the physiological ecology of pinon pine (Pinus edulis).
Jennifer Plaut
Jen completed her undergraduate degree at Brown University. She received an NSF graduate fellowship to support her studies. She is currently working on our rainfall manipulation experiment in pinon-juniper woodland at the Sevilleta LTER.
Jessica Snider
Jessica completed her undergraduate degree at Texas State University. She is currently supported as an NSF GK-12 teaching fellow working with middle school science students in Belen, NM. Her research, in collaboration with Dr. Diana Northup, addresses the impact of deep rooted plants on cave ecosystems.
Sandra White
Sandra completed her undergraduate degree at New Mexico Tech. Her master's thesis research addresses variation of soil respiration to fluctuations in soil moisture using treatments in our rainfall manipulation study in pinon-juniper woodland at the Sevilleta LTER.
