Water quality monitoring station on New Hope Creek in Durham, NC. I've been fortunate enough to install these monitoring stations all over the United States! See the links beside the photo for data!

Current Research

Legacy Nitrogen
​Many rivers contain excess nitrogen that is exported downstream leading to hypoxia in coastal systems. While terrestrial nitrogen inputs have decreased, rivers are still carrying excess nitrogen from groundwater. For this project we are looking at groundwater nitrogen coming into rivers in order to quantify river network scale nitrogen lag time and groundwater nitrogen flux in the Farmington River, a major tributary of the Connecticut River feeding the Long Island Sound.

Visiting my great Aunt at Arizona State University when I was there to install stream monitoring stations.

Fantastic view of why I study rivers. They are beautiful!

Drilling anchors to secure senors to bedrock.  This stream  monitoring station survived and recorded data from Hurricane Matthew!
