| Potomac River Ecosystem Project - I am currently modeling of the effects of land-use and climate change on aquatic ecosystems of the Potomac River basin. Specifically, I am using GIS tools and ecohydrological models to quantify how projected land development and climate change alter the ecosystem variables of water, sediment, light availability, nutrients, and primary production. A key element in this project is evaluating how landscape metrics (e.g., slope, soils, land cover) and socioeconomic metrics (e.g., population density, road density) interact to determine spatiotemporal trends in these ecosystem variables. The goal of this research is to provide resource managers in the Potomac basin with sustainable management strategies and prioritized sites for restoration. | |
