Ecologist & Conservation Scientist
Community Ecology
As a community ecologist, I've studied many aspects of ecosystems. This includes plants, invertebrates, birds, sediment, water, and contaminants.
Invasive aquatic plants
My research has focused on invasive wetland plants such as European common reed (Phragmites australis subsp. australis). I evaluated the multi-trophic effects of invasion and large-scale management.
Ecological Restoration
Restoration provides hope for repairing ecosystems and our relationship with nature. I continue to pursue projects about assisting degraded ecosystems.
Applied Conservation Research
Ecology and conservation science is most effective when used to make on-the-ground changes. My research is driven by questions relevant to practitioners about how we can better take care of the land.
