Bio/Research

Primary area of expertise: Hydrological Systems, Biogeochemistry. My research involves the investigation of the dominant factors regulating energy, water, and biogeochemical cycling within watersheds. My aims are to develop a predictive understanding of watershed processes, and to understand how these processes are altered by human activities and climate change. My field-based monitoring is targeted towards forested watersheds, particularly in Nova Scotia.

Secondary areas of expertise: indicators of watershed health, riparian zones, net primary productivity, surface atmosphere interactions, soil hydrology, land cover change mapping, watershed and river restoration, sediment transport, and fluvial geomorphology.
