Expertise

Our research focuses on (i) examining fundamental (eco)hydrologic and biogeochemical processes, (ii) optimizing ecological engineering activities such as stream and wetland restoration, and (iii) improving watershed management practices.

Nate is an interdisciplinary water scientist focused on improving the physical, chemical, and biological integrity of our water resources.  His work spans gradients in hydrologic connectivity (e.g., upland wetlands, intermittent streams, and large-rivers), spatial scales (e.g., individual soil aggregates to watersheds), and disciplinary boundaries (e.g., engineering, environmental science, and the social sciences).
