Dr. Brian Schubert
I have been at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette since 2013. I received my Ph.D. from Binghamton University and worked as a Postdoctoral Research Scientist and then as an Assistant Research Scientist at the University of Hawaii prior to moving to Louisiana. My research has taken me across Louisiana, as well as in the Mojave Desert, Ireland, Alaska, Arctic Canada, Norway, China, and Siberia.
