    Laura K. Reynolds

    Associate Professor, Coastal Ecology
    Coastal and Marine Ecology Laboratory

    Program Areas

    • Research

      Departmental Research Areas:

      • Carbon Dynamics and Ecosystem Services
      • Wetlands and Aquatic Ecosystems

      Research focus:
      Research in this lab integrates approaches from population and community ecology, biogeochemistry, and plant physiology to better understand how environmental and individual variability influences the functions and stability of nearshore marine ecosystems.
