Educational Background:
Ph.D. Florida State University, 1996
B.S. University of South Carolina, 1989

Research Interests:
Groundwater dynamics at the land-sea interface, biogeochemical cycling within the subterranean estuary, pore water exchange rates and mechanisms across the sediment-water interface, geochemical cycling in earth and marine environmental systems, geochronology/radionuclide applications in the environment, sediment deposition and re-suspension processes in estuarine environments, and wetland and coastal hydrology.
