My research focuses on climate change and invasive mussel impacts on lake dynamics in Central New York. Specifically, I aim to understand, predict, and communicate the interactive impacts of climate change and zebra and quagga mussels on the coupling of the physical, chemical, and biological components of Oneida Lake, Onondaga Lake, and Cayuga Lake.
