Current Research

I am interested in how natural processes such as photolysis and microbial respiration affect the spectral and chemical properties of dissolved organic matter (DOM). In the past, I have looked at the influence of sea ice on DOM concentration in the Bering Sea. Currently, I am studying how photodegradation of and seasonal changes in the source of DOM affect its ability to bind metals across 21 monitoring sites in high altitude streams.
