Research and Professional Interests

My current research involves using high-frequency sonde data and limnological sampling to determine how seasonality impacts ecosystem metabolism and the chemistry and biology of temperate ponds. More specifically, I am interested in quantifying seasonal drivers of lake metabolism and the effect of winter on aquatic invertebrate communities. I also have a passion for science education and outreach!
