Paige is a fourth year undergraduate student at UVic, majoring Geography with a minor in Environmental Studies. She is also completing an Honours thesis on media portrayals of climate change in Arctic regions. Through the Arctic Landscape Ecology Lab, she has partaken in two summer field seasons. Fieldwork she has participated in includes assisting Chanda with her Master’s research in lakes throughout the Mackenzie Delta, conducting NDVI and CIMP monitoring alongside the Inuvik-Tuktoyaktuk Highway, and groundtruthing spruce growth and density imagery-based research in the Tuktoyaktuk region, among other projects. During Trevor's appointment as an Arctic Fulbright Scholar, Paige was involved in conducting research for the Arctic Fulbright Initiative, regarding how environmental change and cultural factors influence health and wellness in circumpolar regions. Paige’s research interests revolve around the impacts that environmental change has on both food and water security for Northern communities, through the lenses of both landscape and political ecology. |
