Biography
My research examines wetland and aquatic ecology, focusing on how species, communities and ecosystems respond to changing conditions. Through fieldwork, experiments, data analysis and simulation modeling, I explore the processes that shape wetland and aquatic systems. My goal is to provide science that helps guide the effective management of these ecosystems.
