Research areas
My research interests focus on the cycling of organic matter and nutrients in coastal ecosystems. Current focus areas for me include:
- Nutrient cycling in stratified estuaries and lagoons
- Nutrient cycling in permeable (sandy) sediments
- Bioavailability and sources of dissolved organic matter and nutrients
