My research interests focus on watershed ecology and water resources management. My work ranges from field studies to simulation modeling and includes water quality, hydrology, and landscape interactions. I am interested in ecological dynamics across space and time, with particular interests in the role of wetlands in watershed dynamics, the potential implications of climate and climate change on land use and water resources, and the integration of ecological and environmental sciences into public policy and resource management. This includes working with both policy-makers and the public.
