Research Interest
We explore the ways in which climate, land use and management practices impact water quality in anthropogenic landscapes. In recent work, we have focused on the long-term impacts of intensive agricultural practices on water quality. We are interested in the development of parsimonious modeling frameworks to explore biogeochemical nutrient dynamics and contaminant transport across a range of scales, to better our understanding of functional linkages between watersheds and lake/coastal systems, and to explore the short- and long-term impacts of human activity on water quality. The work in our lab is inherently interdisciplinary, situated at the crossroads of hydrology and biogeochemistry, and providing outward linkages to a range of different disciplines, from ecology to economics.
