Research Interest
My research is aimed at understanding the various mechanisms influencing the structure and function of wetland ecosystems. The majority of my research is focused on responses of Gulf of Mexico tidal marshes to global environmental changes, including climate change and nutrient enrichment. I also work closer to campus in freshwater wetlands near Tuscaloosa.
