Johanna Jensen, Ph.D.

About me:

Hello! I am a recent Ph.D. graduate from Columbia University with a focus in forest ecology, tree growth, & climate change. 

 

More than six years of experience in evaluating the impacts of climate change on forest communities. Experienced using quantitative statistics to assess forest carbon, resiliency, and regrowth in a changing climate. Passionate about implementing ecological data and theory to make a positive, impactful change that promotes the health of people and the planet.

​

My Ph.D. research examined Arctic treeline, or the transition zone between the boreal forest and Arctic tundra in Alaska, USA and Northwest Territories, Canada. I enjoy linking fieldwork to remote sensing tools so we may better understand this remote and extreme landscape. This research was a part of NASA's Arctic Boreal Vulnerability Experiment (ABoVE). My Ph.D. advisors are Drs. Natalie Boelman and Kevin Griffin.
