Xiaonan Tai

Principal investigator

I am an ecohydrologist with broad interests in Earth System Science. I’m interested in combining organism-level plant physiology with landscape-scale hydrological processes to understand the two-way interactions between vegetation and hydrology and how they might influence ecosystem function and resource supply in the context of novel environmental conditions. xiaonan.tai@njit.edu

Alifia Ibkar

PhD Student

I am interested in studying the role of regional groundwater on promoting post fire vegetation recovery. My current research focuses on the two wildfires occurred in the Medicine Bow National Forest in Wyoming. ai344@njit.edu

Isaiah Rejouis

PhD Student

I am interested in investigating how plant hydraulic and functional traits vary along hillslope gradients, and how plant traits interact with local water availability to mediate ecosystem response to drought. ior2@njit.edu

Ramita Deshmukh

Masters Student

I am working with Forest Activity Tracking System (FACTS) and Monitoring Trends in Burn Severity (MTBS) database to gain insights about how forest management practices might influence ecosystem response to disturbances such as wildfire. rd585@njit.edu
