Personal Summary
I am a river scientist, interested in how a river’s form determines its biogeochemical functions. I study how local controls interact with watershed scale hydrologic and geomorphic constraints to determine the nature and magnitude of carbon and energy cycling. Currently, I am part of the Hall research group at the Flathead Lake Biological Station. I am working on building time series models of river ecosystem energetics to understand how the algae present in a river mediate the impact of external controls on river function.
