Goal
Our goal is to understand how aquatic ecosystems that interact with groundwater respond to human actions, climate change and biological activity. Our research thus increases knowledge on the resilience of aquatic systems to environmental change.
Research
Our research studies processes affecting the transport, fate, and impact of chemical species, including contaminants, in aquatic ecosystems. We develop novel tools to detect, map and describe groundwater-surface water interactions and their effects on ocean chemistry and ecology. These studies aim to increase our understanding of carbon and nutrient transport, bioavailability, and reactivity in the aquatic environment.
