Dr. Matt Vadeboncoeur is a Research Scientist at the University of New Hampshire in Durham. His research is focused around using tools such as tree rings, stable isotopes, and tree physiological measurements to study the responses of forest carbon and water cycles to climate change and other human impacts. Understanding differences in responses and strategies among tree species can inform management decisions to improve forest ecosystem stability under future climates and disturbance regimes.
Matt has worked on projects from the Amazon to the Arctic but has mostly focused on studying New England’s forests. He is co-PI of the UNH Ecohydrology Lab and has been part of the Hubbard Brook Ecosystem Study since his undergraduate years.
