Research Interests

 

Enhancing nutrient cycling and mitigation in freshwater agro-ecosystems: relationships between management and nutrient mitigation in agriculturally influenced freshwater habitats; factors influencing denitrification

Trophic interactions and nutrient fluxes in ecosystems: energy pathways; consumer-resource stoichiometry; consumer-mediated nutrient recycling

Freshwater conservation and management: development and application of science-based conservation and management strategies for freshwater ecosystems embedded in agricultural landscapes

Aquatic community ecology: relationships between community structure and novel environmental gradients (nutrient enrichment, habitat degradation, flow alteration); identifying community thresholds
