Current Research Projects
Spatiotemporal Dynamics of Zoogeochemistry Project
We are interested in understanding how consumers affect the biological, chemical, and physical structure of their environments through their trophic and non-trophic (e.g., burrowing) effects.
Tidal Marsh Beneficial Use of Dredge Placement Project
We are collaborating with state, federal, and non-profit partners across the Atlantic coast to assess factors underlying failed plant population recovery in tidal marshes restored via the beneficial use of dredge placement.
Freshwater Mussel & Submerged Aquatic Vegetation Project
We are partnering with the Philadelphia Water Department to assess how co-restoring freshwater mussels and submerged aquatic vegetation can improve water quality, wildlife habitat, and equitable assess to green space across Philadelphia.
New England Stone Wall Project
We are collaborating with Dr. Kathleen Carroll and the URI Quest Lab to preserve New England Stone Walls and understand how these land-use legacies affect wildlife biodiversity and ecosystem processes across southern New England.
Rhode Island Beaver Project
We are collaborating with Dr. Kathleen Carroll, the URI Quest Lab, and RI Beaver Management to understand how on-lethal beaver flood control affects hydrology and water quality.
