Incorporating resilience into seagrass restoration

This project explores how genetic diversity and intraspecific variation in stress responses can be leveraged to improve resilience in the face of rising ocean temperatures and poor water quality. **CURRENTLY RECRUITING PHD/MS STUDENTS TO CONTRIBUTE!**

Illuminating seagrass stress response using a multi - 'omics approach

We are using a multi-omics approach to understand the mechanisms behind intraspecific variation in stress tolerance in seagrasses. **CURRENTLY RECRUITING PHD/MS STUDENTS TO CONTRIBUTE!**

Species interactions and environmental context in salt marsh ecosystems

Environmental context influences the outcomes of species interactions, while species interactions also influence local conditions. Some of my previous work in salt marsh ecosystems has focused on this interplay of biotic and abiotic context.

Drought responses of canopy plants and effects on ecosystem function

Drought response of canopy epiphytes may reduce their contributions to canopy water retention.

Examining the Role of Spatial Scale in Plant-Soil Feedbacks for Range Expansion

Examining how plant-soil feedbacks may influence the speed of range shifts in coastal black mangroves.
