CV

Wouter Hantson is a PhD candidate in the School of Forest Resources.  His research focuses on investigating the patterns of vegetation-permafrost dynamics as determined by landscape-scale disturbance.  His research activities are organized within three objectives designed to build a scaling framework to: <ul> <li>Measure the local-scale heterogeneity of vegetation composition and structure along gradients of disturbance associated with permafrost thaw features on the Arctic landscape</li> <li>Map permafrost thaw features by association with the spatial patterns of vegetation composition and structure at the landscape scale</li> <li>Characterize the trajectories of permafrost thaw at the regional scale as the patterns of vegetation composition and structure change over time in response to landscape disturbances</li> </ul>
