Department of Environmental Earth System Science

I have specific interest in interdisciplinary teaching and learning, and in the effective communication of complex interdisciplinary problem descriptions, analysis methods, and solutions to expert and non-expert audiences. I advise and work on research projects with students whose interests include ecology, energy, land systems management, ocean science and policy, sustainability, environmental education, and science communication.

Peter Vitousek, Clifford G. Morrison Professor in Population and Resource Studies, Biology

Department of Environmental Earth System Science

I carry out research related to nutrient cycling, most notably nitrogen and phosphorus, in a range of environments and ecosystems, with a particular focus on the Hawaiian Islands. My group has looked at nutrient dynamics in the soil profile, litter, native forest ecosystems, forest, and grassland systems affected by invasive species and agricultural systems.
