My research interests emerge from the collaborative pursuit of integrated basic and applied questions, often completed through mentored undergraduate student projects at the overlap of hydrologic, geologic, ecologic, and human systems. I also work with my undergraduate student mentees to pursue and learn best practices in community-level, two-way science communication that informs and shares new research in an effort to better inform environmental decision making in the Hudson River Valley and beyond. I also conduct research on techniques in teaching and mentorship to advance collective understanding on how we can best foster the next generation of critical thinkers that not only have a strong base of knowledge in the sciences, but also have the skills to learn and communicate new information independently or collaboratively as they work to solve fundamental questions facing society and our environment. I am constantly seeking to expand creative, interdisciplinary, student-centered research avenues and experiential pedagogies that explore complex systems using project-based learning, integrative problem solving, and thinking across disciplines.
