I am an assistant professor in the School of Biology and Ecology at the University of Maine. I received a M.S. and Ph.D. from Virginia Tech where I studied the ecology of cave streams in the U.S. and France. After my Ph.D. I was a post-doctoral fellow at the University of Otago in New Zealand where I investigated the ecosystem consequences of brown trout introduction and agricultural land use on streams. I have broad interests in freshwater ecology but I am primarily interested in interactions between ecosystem processes and community structure in streams and groundwater systems. I am particularly interested in how changes in community structure and interactions translate into changes in how ecosystems function. My research involves a mix of biogeochemistry, invertebrate biology and microbial ecology. |
