Research | I am a freshwater ecologist who studies pond and lake ecosystems. My research has primarily focused on predator-prey interactions in lake systems and their role in mercury contamination of the environment. Recent areas of interest include the trophic transfer of mercury between aquatic and terrestrial food webs and factors that lead to spatial variation in the mercury contamination of organisms at a variety of scales. I have used a combination of field surveys, experiments and GIS-based approaches in my research. I have had a longstanding collaboration with Dr. Matt Chumchal in the TCU Biology Department, and we work as a team on many research projects and serve as co-advisors for undergraduate and graduate students that work in our lab on mercury contamination.
