Assistant Professor, Urban Soil and Water Quality

Program Areas

  • Research

    Departmental Research Areas:

    Research focus:
    My research focuses on urban biogeochemistry and ecosystem ecology. I focus on nutrient and energy cycling in aquatic ecosystems as well as in terrestrial environments. I am interested in how human activities on the landscape affect the export of nutrients and other pollutants, impairing the quality of soil and water. In addition to nutrient and energy cycling, I am also interested in how pharmaceuticals and personal care products, as well as other emerging contaminants of concern, alter ecosystem functioning in urban environments.

  • Extension

    My extension program focuses on improving soil and water quality in urban environments, and implementing best management practices aimed at reducing the export of nutrients and pollutants from urban areas to the surrounding environment.
