Francis Quinby is a fourth-year PhD student in Dr. Dennis Murray’s lab at Trent University where he is pursuing a long-held desire to use quantitative skills to study environmental issues and further the body of knowledge on how climate change is impacting the Earth’s ecosystems.

Francis will be discussing his research into drivers of boreal forest ecosystems dynamics at the Kluane Lake Research Station in the Yukon. His research involves working with two vastly different organisms: snowshoe hares and soil microbes.
