Wetland Hydrobiogeochemistry

Our long-term objective is to develop a mechanistic understanding and ability to model the various processes controlling water quality in wetlands, and understand the implications of these processes for watersheds commonly found in humid regions of the United States. These processes can be hydrological, geochemicial, or biological. We are studying wetland hydrobiogeochemistry at a wetland field site at the Savannah River.
