Lauren is a Research Associate Professor of Environmental Studies and a Senior Fellow for Climate & Environment at Dartmouth's Institute of Arctic Studies. She is currently on assignment to the National Science Foundation as a Program Director in the Office of Polar Programs. Lauren studies ecological change in the Arctic. Her recent field projects in Greenland have explored landscape changes related to soil erosion and pond drying, biogeochemical cycling at the aquatic-terrestrial interface, and the roles of mosquitoes in Arctic social-ecological systems. She has a Ph.D. in Ecology & Evolutionary Biology from Dartmouth, and a M.S. in Entomology and a B.S. in Zoology from the University of Maryland.
