Lidar-derived estimates of boreal shrub biomass in Southcentral Alaska
Environmental Research LettersDespite widespread observations of shrub proliferation and expansion (shrubification), few studies quantify shrub biomass at the regional scale. Here we describe and implement a two-part modeling approach to estimate and map tall shrub (diameter at root ...

Towards a material‐dialogic theory of climate teacher education: A global North–South dialogue
British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.Abstract This paper develops a novel theoretical stance for reimagining initial teacher education (ITE) through genuine North–South dialogue that challenges dominant Global North paradigms in teacher education. Drawing on collaborative inquiry between researchers from England and Chile, we synthesise material‐dialogic space theory (derived from Global ...

Uniform shrub growth response to June temperature across the North Slope of Alaska
Environmental Research Letters, 2018 The expansion of woody shrubs in arctic tundra alters many aspects of high-latitude ecosystems, including carbon cycling and wildlife habitat. Dendroecology, the study of annual growth increments in woody plants, has shown promise in revealing how ...
