Research Interests

I am interested broadly in how changes in land use affect ecosystem function, and in our ability to restore impaired ecosystem systems. In the Amazon, I investigate how deforestation and intensifying agriculture alter the flow of water and materials from land into — and then within — channels, streams, and rivers. In New England I study restoration of coastal grasslands and wetlands, how the choices we make along our coasts and in our own backyards affect biodiversity. I work with local conservation organizations to design improved methods of ecosystem monitoring, protection and restoration.
