WETLAND

Our research focuses on the ecology of wetland ecosystems and coastal sustainability, including resilience of urban coastal environments. Wetland ecosystems where we work include mangrove forests, freshwater and estuarine marshes and tidal creeks. Our work integrates hydrology, plant ecology and biogeochemistry to understand ecosystem-level structure, process and change in the Everglades and other ecosystems, including of Biscayne Bay. We use this information to monitor the response of ecosystems to large-scale changes including management actions undertaken as part of hydrologic restoration and due to sea-level rise.
