Biography

Key Words: ecosystem biogeochemistry, nitrogen, wetland, soil, human engineered system, microbial ecology

I am an ecosystem biogeochemist focused on the nitrogen cycle. My overarching research goal is to understand how human driven disturbances such as climate change and land use change impact the way variably inundated ecosystems (e.g., wetlands and marshes) process nitrogen. I use a combination of field measurements, lab experiments, and analytical equipment to measure nitrogen (and sometimes carbon) transformations. I have worked in upland forests, wetlands, tidal marshes, rivers, and ditches, and I am excited to give Environmental Science students the opportunity to explore these places too!
