Assistant Professor, Natural Resources & Environmental Sciences

Research Focus:  Nitrogen cycling and transport in agricultural watersheds. Nitrogen transformations in soil-crop systems. Nitrous oxide emissions from aquatic and soil environments.

Mission Statement: Our research aims to resolve the complex dynamics of nitrogen cycling in hydrologic systems. We use a variety of field, laboratory, and modeling techniques to understand how hydrological and biogeochemical processes interact to control the transport and transformation of reactive nitrogen and how human activities influence these interactions. In particular, we specialize in the application of stable isotope techniques to examine the impact of hydrological and biogeochemical processes on the production, retention, and reactive transport of nitrate and nitrous oxide.
