The North is warming at a much faster rate compared to the rest of the world through a process known as Arctic amplification. In Canada, particularly in Yukon, this warming has resulted in more precipitation falling as rain rather than snow. These precipitation changes have several consequences, including changes in vegetation. Erin Nicholls, a 4th year PhD Candidate in the School of Earth, Environment, and Society, is interested in understanding how these changes in the types of vegetation can impact the water cycle. Tune in to learn more about Erin's impactful research and her academic journey towards her PhD!
