Current Research:


My intended research has to do with the health and viability of coastal salt marshes. The focus of the research will include highly precise measurements of accretion and elevation changes over the study period. Also nutrient inputs into the salt marsh will be looked at to determine the effect they might have on the elevation of the wetland. Finally, sediment inputs into the salt marsh environment will be characterized to attempt to discover the main mechanisms controlling the growth and deterioration of salt marsh environments.
