PhD, Environment, Duke University - 2018

I am a biogeochemist who follows the movement of carbon, nitrogen and other elements through soils and the streams that drain them.  I am particularly interested in mechanisms of soil organic matter stabilization, mineral-organic associations, redox-sensitive processes, and hydrologically-integrated biogeochemical understanding. Using tools from ecology, hydrology and geochemistry, I examine these topics on scales ranging from the soil profile to large river basins. My first love is forests, but I am broadly interested in human-impacted ecosystems.

Coming soon.
