wetland science

I have over 30 years of experience in wetlands, from subarctic peatlands to subtropical marshes. I provide expert opinion and develop applied research and management plans for wetlands.

In a large experiment, colleagues, students and I tested how diverse management actions can help restore coastal marshes in Louisiana.

In another large experiment, colleagues, students and I tested whether subarctic ladder fens can polish wastewater from a mining camp as an ecosystem service.

Recently, a colleague and I published a model on how to predict the extent of marsh along shorelines or in floodplains based on basin characteristics and water level history. We call it the Twin Limit Marsh Model.

Peatlands are sometimes drained and converted to other land uses. Their organic soils keep them wet in the spring and fall, but they can become so dry in the summer that the soil erodes with the wind. I was one of the first to study wind erosion in large converted peatlands in Canada.

Here, colleagues and I are setting up a weather station to study wind erosion in peatlands converted to agricultural land. Their organic soils are extremely valuable for producing vegetable crops.
