Background
M.S., Geology, IUPUI, 2003
B.S., Geology, IUPUI, 1999

Specialties
Environmental Service Learning, Environmental Education, Wetland and Riparian Ecosystem Restoration

Research interests include implementation and monitoring of central Indiana wetland and riparian restoration projects, wetland delineation, site mapping, amphibian monitoring, as well as vegetation and water quality data collection and analyses. A focus is on developing and implementing science-based curricula and outreach programs at CEES local research sites for K-12 students and teachers, university students, community members, and environmental professionals. Outreach programs include the CEES environmental service learning program for IUPUI earth and environmental science students coordinated in conjunction with community partners.

Projects Information
I have worked extensively on the chemistry and geologic history of nutrient cycling in the ocean and on land. Current research projects involve determining the controls on nutrient cycling on land during glaciation, examining the timing and driving forces of biological productivity in the ocean, assessing the content and distribution of the potentially harmful element mercury in coal resources of Indiana and examining the links between lead distribution and children's blood lead levels in urban areas.
