Good
Professor Loisel's class was on Tuesdays and Thursdays but you only had to come one of the days a week based on last name which was nice. There is not a lot of "homework" but there are video lectures you have to watch every week. The work was not hard at all, you just had to get it done! I came to class only to get the participation and extra credit points available .
Awful
Loisel's class is very aggravating, and unnecessary, she is barely useful. She cancels class constantly, sometimes 10 minutes beforehand. Although she does drop one test out of five, whichever has the lowest grade.

I study climate change and its impacts on terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems in the US southwest. I am gathering
synthesizing
and analyzing records of past climate change (e.g.
charcoal
pollen
plant macrofossils
isotopes)
with a focus on warm and dry events that have occurred over the past 12
000 years to help assessing the natural variability of the regional climate. These datasets will be used to test climate models and provide stakeholders with information related to ecosystem sensitivity to changing hydrological and climatic conditions.

I extracted and analyzed sugars
lignin/phenols
and amino acids from Antarctic plants and peat cores to develop a transfer function using the biochemical signature of plants to reconstruct past vegetation changes along sediment cores for the region.

I headed up an effort with over 70 collaborators from 15 countries for which I synthesized and analyzed long-term (Holocene) climate records from circum-arctic peatlands in an effort to further our understanding of ecosystem-carbon-climate interactions.
