“Stream Signatures”: River-terrestrial energy subsidies.

 

In this project I am addressing the spatial extent that aquatic energy subsidies travel into riparian food webs.

Timberlake wetland/riverine restoration monitoring

 

In this project I am monitoring macroinvertebrate community recovery at the largest mitigation site in NC.

Knickpoints, salt slug discharge, and invertebrates

 

In this project I looked at macroinvertebrate communities at knickpoints and their response to salt slug additions for discharge measurement.

Community responses to dewatering

 

In this project I followed the macroinvertebrate community response to an experimental dewatering/rewetting gradient.

Ecological effects of flow releases

 

In this project I was part of a group measuring the ecological effect of regular flood releases for recreation.

Effects of dam decommissioning

 

In this project I looked at macroinvertebrates, fungi, and leaf decomposition pre– and post– dam decommissioning.

Timberlake, early-on in the restoration process

Knickpoints are cool! (or not)

Imagine this with an additional 1 m of water depth

Riding the waves (all in the name of science!)

Fossil Creek, even more beautiful with flow restored
