1. Indigenize genomics to understand the drivers of biodiversity in agricultural landscapes

​

My work seeks to understand the ecology of Indigenous agroecosystems and the drivers of biodiversity maintenance within them utilizing genomic tools such as DNA metabarcoding and environmental DNA (eDNA). Since this work takes place on Indigenous lands, I find engaging in Indigenous Data Sovereignty (IDS) practices imperative to expand who benefits from the research and to uphold community governance.
