Current Research
	University of Georgia, Athens, GA I am examining the role of semi-aquatic plethodontid salamanders to nutrient dynamics of first and second order streams of the southeastern United States and am using modeling and experimental approachs to predict the response of salamander guilds to global climate change. I hope to predict how the expected change in salamander guilds will influence ecosystem processes. Advisor: Dr. John Maerz
