Research interests/biography

Jessie Young-Robertson is an expert in ecohydrology, terrestrial ecosystems, and the role of boreal and arctic plants in the water cycle. Her research focuses on how changes in the boreal and arctic system (from climate change, shifts in plant species, permafrost thaw, etc.) affect the dynamics of how plants move, store, and flux water.
