Degrees:
| Ph.D. |
Biogeochemistry/Hydrology, Wilfrid Laurier University, Canada, 2003 |
| M.Sc. |

Research Interests:
My research examines linkages between hydroclimatology, biogeochemical cycling and surface-water chemistry in both natural and impacted systems under variable climatic regimes and following disturbance or land use change. I am particularly interested in carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus storage and movement in both temperate and high latitude environments, with an emphasis on wetland systems.
