Research and Teaching Interests

I am a marine biogeochemist. I conducted my M.S. work on animal-sediment interactions, and my dissertation and post-doctoral work on the function of permeable coral reef sands as intense natural bioreactors. My current research activities center on sandy shores, land-ocean exchange of pollutants, specifically nutrients, and the biogeochemical implications of coastal engineering interventions such as beach nourishment and channel realignment. I also have a keen interest in sensors for biogeochemical parameters on static, ship-borne, and autonomous platforms. Finally, I am invested in the process of science informing policy, based on prior experience as an EU-member-state government scientist, policy maker, and consultant for the private environmental consulting sector. I teach introduction to marine science, marine chemistry, and environmental chemistry, with an interdisciplinary framework that includes the nexus of science and society.
