Shannon Wesstrom is a Master’s student in Ecology, focusing on the ecological changes of backcountry campsites in coastal Alaskan National Parks. Her enthusiasm for outdoor recreation can be traced to the Appalachian Mountains and the beaches of the Carolinas where she has spent countless hours hiking and scuba diving. Shannon joined the IORT lab in 2018 after contracting for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency: Office of Research and Development and discovering her knack for research. She hopes to pursue a career with the National Park Service promoting sustainable recreation practices and environmental stewardship.
