Research Interests
Much of my work has been associated with biogeochemistry in aquatic ecosystems. More specifically, I have examined several aspects of nitrogen dynamics in streams and rivers. In the future I hope to broaden my focus to include studies in the freshwater microbial ecology and general limnology.
