Welcome

We are ecosystem ecologists studying biogeochemical cycles and linkages between physical, chemical and biological structure and function in aquatic habitats. 

Our research falls into 4 categories:  

• 1. the spatial and temporal patterns of nitrogen fixation and denitrification in aquatic habitats

  2. stream-watershed-lake interactions in the Great Lakes 

  3. consequences of restoration for stream and lake ecosystem processes

  4. ecosystem perspectives on community interactions and resource subsidies
