Research Interests
I am interested in our limited freshwater resources and the effect detrital processing and biogeochemical cycles have on freshwater ecosystems. I have research experience and a continued interest in working with microbial, macroinvertebrate, protozoan, algal, fisheries and wetland ecology. I am also fascinated about physical and biological couplings and enjoy the education of non-biologist about biology.
