Biography

https://egodtfredsen.wixsite.com/elsagodtfredsen.

I study how climate change is reshaping the reproductive landscape for subalpine plants. Specifically, I am interested in how changes in snowmelt timing and summer precipitation can alter plant-pollinator interactions and plant reproductive success.
