Curriculum Vitae
Deputy Director, Biogeochemist
My research concerns carbon biogeochemisty with an emphasis on belowground processes in wetlands. I am currently studying the effects of elevated CO2 on plant productivity, soil carbon storage, and methane emissions. In addition, I am studying a variety of plant-microbe interactions including the contribution of root exudates to the metabolism of methane-producing microbes and the role of rhizosphere iron-oxidizing bacteria to a root-associated wetland iron cycle.

Post Doctoral Fellow
I am broadly interested in how wetland ecosystems respond to global change. As an interdisciplinary environmental scientist, I use ecophysiology, molecular tools, and biogeochemistry to study ecosystem processes. Currently, I am investigating how native and invasive plant communities may respond to multiple interacting factors (elevated CO2, N pollution, and sea-level rise) in order to understand the extent to which coastal wetlands will continue to provide ecosystem services.
