Roxy Cruz in action

Roxy Cruz is a Plant Ecophysiologist, tree climber, and Ph.D. Candidate in the Department of Integrative Biology at UC Berkeley. Her research takes her to Costa Rica and Peru where she studies how tropical forests respond to drought. She measures thresholds for plant survival to try and predict the fate of our tropical forests in the face of rapid changing climate.
