Our group bridges freshwater and estuarine ecosystems to explore the environmental and ecological factors that shape biological communities.

Broadly, our goal is to examine how communities resist, recover, or transform under environmental change. 

Much of our recent work has questions relating to phenology, disturbance response, species interactions, and extinction risk. We address these questions using large-scale experimental manipulations, synthetic statistical frameworks, and theory-driven mathematical modeling.
 
The work we do often seeks to address questions that enhance our understanding of fundamental ecological relationships; however, we remain rooted in projects with direct applications to management and conservation efforts.
