Sara is pursuing a Master’s in Ecology working with Dr. Donatella Zona. She received her Bachelor’s from UCSD and worked on projects including the California Poppy Project. Sara is currently researching change in lichen composition over time in areas of the Arctic that are critical to caribou. Her research goals are to create a spectral library for lichen, gather enough data to see composition change, and use that change to help determine how the caribou will change their land use.
