Quantifying greenhouse gas concentrations and metabolism in tropical coastal wetlands
Quantifying greenhouse gas concentrations and metabolism in tropical coastal wetlands
Virginia Tech; Collaborators: Gustavo Martínez Rodríguez, David Sotomayor, Erin Hotchkiss
August 2020 - present
As part of my graduate research, I am interested in quantifying the variability in greenhouse gas concentrations over a range of tropical coastal wetlands that are variably impacted by land use and human activities. I have also deployed dissolved oxygen sensors with the goal of quantifying ecosystem metabolism.
Hydrologic Connectivity and Water Storage as Drivers of Carbon Export and Emissions from Wetland-Dominated Catchments
Hydrologic Connectivity and Water Storage as Drivers of Carbon Export and Emissions from Wetland-Dominated Catchments
Virginia Tech; PIs: Daniel McLaughlin, Durelle Scott, Margaret Palmer, Nate Jones, Erin Hotchkiss; Collaborators: Katherine Wardinski, Nicholas Corline, James Maze
August 2020 - present
As part of my graduate research, I work on understanding the environmental controls and heterogeneity in greenhouse gases in wetlands. I also support field and lab research for a project focused on linking hydrology and carbon dynamics in headwater wetlands.
Greenhouse gas emissions from tropical inland waters
Greenhouse gas emissions from tropical inland waters
Working group; Leads: Nicholas Marzolf & Clément Duvert; Collaborators: Annika Linkhorst, Loris Deirmendjian, Allison Herreid, Luke Jeffrey, Marcia Macedo, Diana Oviedo Vargas, Diego Riveros Iregui, Vanessa Solano, Keridwen Whitmore, Alberto Borges
January 2020 - present
This working group is focused on collating sources of research on greenhouse gas dynamics in the tropics and identifying crucial knowledge gaps in tropical research.
Greenhouse gasses and disturbance impacts in tropical mountain streams
Greenhouse gasses and disturbance impacts in tropical mountain streams
University of New Hampshire; Collaborators: Allison Herreid, Jody Potter, William McDowell
2016 - present
During my work as a research technician, I explored patterns of dissolved greenhouse gases from our weekly stream sampling in El Yunque National Forest. With the passing of Hurricane María in 2017, I also looked at the impacts of disturbance and recovery of greenhouse gases in these streams.
Global patterns in stream energy and nutrient cycling
Global patterns in stream energy and nutrient cycling
NCEAS Working Group; PIs: Adam Wymore & Sujay Kausal; Participants: Bianca Rodríguez Cardona, Rebecca Barnes, Sherri Johnson, Shahan Haq, Ashley Coble, Jack Brookshire, Susana Bernal, Penny Johnes, Pam Sullivan, Pirkko Kortelainen, Hannah Fazekas, Alba Argerich, William McDowell
2016 - 2018
As part of this working group, I participated in the organization and curation of data from 10 Long Term Ecological Research (LTER) sites as well as 3 workshops aimed at developing research products.
Deciphering the role of dissolved organic nitrogen in stream nutrient cycling
Deciphering the role of dissolved organic nitrogen in stream nutrient cycling
University of New Hampshire; PIs: Adam Wymore & Bill McDowell; Collaborators: Katherine Pérez Rivera & Albertyadir de Jesús Román
May 2016 - July 2016
Led fieldwork with two REU students for a project evaluating the role of dissolved organic nitrogen in stream nutrient uptake
We also implemented an experiment to evaluate the bioavailability of dissolved organic matter across different streams
Tropical Limnology Lab Undergraduate Research Assistant
Tropical Limnology Lab Undergraduate Research Assistant
University of Puerto Rico, Río Piedras; PI: Jorge Ortiz Zayas; PhD student: Rita Cáceres
August 2012 - May 2014
Worked on research of the aquatic habitat of the endangered native species, the Puerto Rican Crested Toad in the Guánica Dry Reserve Forest in Puerto Rico and on experiments evaluating the impacts of competition between the native Crested Toad and the invasive Cane Toad
ESA SEEDS Undergraduate Research Fellow
ESA SEEDS Undergraduate Research Fellow
ESA/Cornell University; PI: Alexander Flecker; Collaborators: Erin Larson, Carla Atkinson, Keeley Macneill, & Steven Thomas
May 2014 - August 2015
Developed and implemented a project focused on studying the impacts of a flood event on animal-mediated nutrient dynamics in streams
Supported an NSF RAPID project aimed at quantifying the impacts of a 100-year flood on stream macroinvertebrate communities and basal resources
