    Curriculum Vitae

    Research Interests:

    • Biodiversity, community ecology, and food-web structure of benthic communities
    • Coastal wetlands ecology and restoration
    • Consequences of species invasion to ecosystem health
    • Impacts of climate change (e.g., increased storm severity, sea-level rise) on coastal ecosystem function
    • Animal-plant-sediment-geochemical interactions
    • Life histories and dispersal of marine invertebrates
    • Patterns of recruitment and succession of benthic invertebrates
