Ecology and biogeochemistry of aquatic ecosystems in the anthropocene

​The direct and indirect results of human activities such as climate change, urbanization, and construction/alteration of water bodies influence the streams, rivers, lakes, and reservoirs in every corner of the world. My work focuses on understanding how these anthropogenic drivers play out in the the movement and transformations of nutrients, carbon, and water in these diverse aquatic ecosystems. I combine concepts and approaches from multiple disciplines to understand the complex interactions among the biological, chemical, and hydrological processes that influence these systems.
