Her approaches span landscape-to-molecular\ \ scales as necessary to understand how alterations of wetland structure influences\ \ wetland function. Lisa\u2019s research sites represent a wide range of salinity\ \ and management conditions, from rice agriculture to coastal and restored wetlands.\ \ Since 2000, she has authored or coauthored over 100 peer reviewed papers on\ \ wetland biogeochemistry, and co-produced functional maps of wetland elevation\ \ and soil characteristics. From local to national to global assessments, Lisa\ \ represents USGS capabilities and interests across the aquatic continuum to\ \ improve management of wetlands under climate and landuse-change scenarios.EDUCATIONPh.D.\ \ 1999, Rutgers University, Ecology, Evolution and Natural ResourcesM.S. 1995,\ \ Rutgers University, GeographyB.A. 1991, University of California Los Angeles,\ \ Environmental EngineeringPROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCEResearch Ecologist, U.S. Geological\ \ Survey Water Mission Area (National Research Program) 2004-Visiting Scholar\ \ , Stanford University (2003-2004)Assistant Professor, Dept Earth and Environmental\ \ Sciences, Lehigh University (2000-2004)NSF Post-doctoral Fellow, Dept Biological\ \ Sciences, 1998-2000NOAA NERR Fellow/NASA Global Change Research Fellow, 1995-1998Geographic\ \ Information System Coordinator, Natural Heritage Program, New Jersey Department\ \ of Environmental Protection, 1992-1999Hyperspectral Remote Sensing Scientist,\ \ NASA/Ames Research Center, Moffett Field, CA 1989-1992RESEARCH INTERESTSEnvironmental\ \ ChemistryWatershed scienceCarbon and nutrient biogeochemistryMercury biogeochemistryEnvironmental\ \ restorationRECENT SYNERGISTIC ACTIVITIESNorth American Carbon Program, CoChair\ \ 2021 Open Science MeetingNASA Carbon Monitoring System Principal Investigator,\ \ Co-Investigator and Science Team (2014-)Powell Center Wetland Methane FLUXNET\ \ Synthesis (2018-)NSF-Coastal Carbon Research Coordination Network (2018-)" professional_experience: [] title: Biologist
