Specifically, my interests include:
- Characterizing wetland vulnerability to sea-level rise and saltwater intrusion,
- Determining how vegetation change and mangrove encroachment alter biogeochemical processing of energy and nutrients,
- Understanding hurricane impacts on biogeochemical cycles and surface elevation dynamics in coastal environments,
- Determining how intertidal oyster reefs contribute to carbon and nutrient sequestration, and mediate eutrophication,
- Defining the role of carbon quality and geomorphic setting in ‘blue carbon’ storage
