Mozdzer Ecology Lab Bryn Mawr College

The Mozdzer Ecology lab uses an interdisciplinary approach combining plant ecophysiology, biogeochemistry, molecular ecology, genomics and evolutionary processes to better understand how ecosystems respond to global change.  

We are currently investigating the ecoevolutionary outcomes of near future global change on Phragmites australis invasion in an ecosystem level study at the Smithsonian Global Change Research Wetland.  Our newest NSF-funded project, C-EVO, aims to link genetic diversity and genomic variation to measures of plant physiology and carbon cycling.  This research is in collaboration with colleagues at the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center rhe University of Tennessee, Knoxville.

On the TIDE Project, we are collaborating with colleagues at Woods Hole Research Center, MBL, Northeastern University, VIMS, and the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center to understand ecosystem recovery after over a decade of chronic nutrient pollution.
