Nathalie Isabelle Chardon, PhD
I strive to unite my research, outreach, and teaching in order to improve scientific understanding and literacy in our society. My research examines the effects of global change on ecological systems, my teaching aims to inspire future scientists and citizens of a rapidly changing world, and my community engagement allows me to apply my work and ideas on a broader scale. It is a passion for nature at all scales that motivates not only my work, but also my travels to remote corners of the globe and my endeavors to reach remote summits with skis or ropes.
