Research

Our research primarily explores hydrology and biogeochemistry in landscapes with substantial human manipulation, often urban and suburban landscapes, but also agricultural systems. We are particularly interested in ecological engineering solutions to preserve or restore environmental integrity and support sustainable, resilient development. We employ a variety of methods, primarily lab and field approaches, as well as geospatial investigations, data synthesis, and some modeling.
