Selected Research Projects
Flood of Mud: The Roanoke River Past and Future - A video project funded by the National Science Foundation examining long-term impacts of historic land clearing and erosion on temperate rivers and their floodplains. The approximately 17-minute video targets youth and adult visitors to the North Carolina Aquariums. The video highlights the NSF-funded research project, Modeling the Impacts of Post-Settlement Sediment Deposition on Floodplain Vegetation, which applies paleoecological and dendrochronological methods and computer modeling to examine and predict the impact of sedimentation on forest composition, productivity and functioning of the lower Roanoke River in North Carolina.
Partners in Ecology and Restoration of Schoolyards (PIERS) - This project, which is funded by the Chesapeake Bay Trust, is a watershed education program that will help western Maryland elementary schools and teachers improve schoolyard environments to provide native habitat, enhance water quality and offer outdoor learning spaces for student exploration and investigations.
