I am a coastal groundwater hydrologist studying coastal ecosystem responses to climate change in temperate and polar environments. The goal of my research is to better project future coastal ecosystem function and carbon storage by understanding how coastal hydrology responds to climate change and how hydrology influences the processing and storage of carbon in the coastal zone. To do this, I collect field measurements and develop and use numerical models to expand system understanding in space and time.

Outside the office, I spend my time outdoors – hiking, biking, paddling! I love dogs, although I don’t have one myself, and can frequently be found petting other people’s dogs at parks – or anywhere really. When I’m not outside or petting dogs, I’m at the pottery wheel throwing mugs and bowls!
