Welcome!

By definition, aquatic ecologists study the complex abiotic and biotic interactions that shape ecosystems. I focus on diverse coastal flora including seagrasses, freshwater vegetation, and seaweeds. These organisms offer perfect systems for studying how interacting environmental and climate drivers govern SAV community structure, function, and resilience across space and time. Overall, I use a combination of field, laboratory, and data science approaches to tackle these ever evolving problems.
