Research or professional focus / current projects

Currently, most of my research involves work with the NAWQA Nutrient Enrichment Effects Team (NEET) and focuses on participation in studies of whole stream metabolism in streams in agricultural areas. In addition, I collect ecological data for the NAWQA Trends program and I am project chief on several studies in the State of Delaware that are task with collection of real-time water quality data.
