I am a quantitative aquatic ecologist who bridges freshwater and estuarine ecosystems to explore the environmental and ecological factors that shape biological systems across organizational, spatial, and temporal scales.

 

My work often seeks to address questions that enhance our understanding of fundamental ecological relationships; however, I remain rooted in projects with direct applications to management and conservation efforts.

 

Much of my recent work has focused on how climate change drivers affect communities through time, and has explored questions relating to phenology, disturbance response, species interactions, and extinction risk. I have addressed these questions using large-scale experimental manipulations, innovative statistical techniques, and theory-driven mathematical modeling.
