Experienced Earth, ocean and environmental scientist who communicates effectively across disciplines and uses geospatial and statistical methods along with field research to investigate underlying processes of the world around us with the objective of contributing to our knowledge and ability to manage land and seascapes for environmental integrity.Most of my professional career and education has focused on how ecosystems function and what qualities of ecosystems impart stability and/or resilience. I have applied my knowledge of botany, ecology, and biogeochemistry in examinations of (1) ecosystem responses to catastrophic (pulse) natural disturbance, long-term (press) anthropogenic disturbance, and climate change; (2) impacts of land-use and water-use on the potential for ecosystem restoration and stability; and (3) how changes in species composition can alter ecosystem function. I have worked across a broad spectrum of ecosystems including temperate and tropical forests, arctic tundra, rangeland, and benthic marine ecosystems.Below is a recent fun analysis on sediment elevation tables across four mud banks in Florida Bay.
Listed skills include Laboratory, Biogeochemistry, Wetlands, Sediment Elevation Tables, and 25 others.
