abstract: I received my Bachelor of Science degree in Biology in 1980, my Master | |||
of Science degree in 1986 and my PhD in 2000 in Environmental Biology from George | |||
Mason University (GMU). I am an affiliate professor in the Environmental Science | |||
and Policy Department at GMU as well as a hydrologist in the USGS Water Resources | |||
Mission Area in Reston, Virginia. I was with the USGS Nation Research Program | |||
Mission Area. | from 1979 until 2016 and am currently a member of the Vegetation and Hydrogeomorphic | ||
Relations Project where I lead the submersed aquatic vegetation (SAV) task. I | |||
am an aquatic plant ecologist and have designed and conducted studies directed | |||
toward the recognition and understanding of processes that affect estuarine, | |||
riverine, floodplain, and wetland ecosystems. This included fundamental research | |||
on the factors affecting diversity and the distribution of aquatic vegetation | |||
in estuaries and the effects of vegetation on water quality and flow. I have | |||
studied factors influencing distribution and abundance of submersed aquatic | |||
macrophytes in estuaries and worked with the Environmental Protection Agency | |||
and other members of the Chesapeake Bay Program to set water-quality goals and | |||
habitat restoration targets for submersed aquatic vegetation in the Chesapeake | |||
Bay. I also participated in USGS multidisciplinary studies in the south Florida | |||
Everglades focusing on determining vegetative resistance to flow to improve | |||
surface water models. In addition, I quantified the uptake of nutrients in plant | |||
material relative to other nutrient cycling processes in order to better define | |||
the important role of vegetation in nutrient and sediment trapping in a Piedmont | |||
floodplain. | |||
