RESEARCH ACTIVITY
The overarching questions that drive my research are: What do organisms that live on the bottom of the ocean eat, and what mechanisms allow these organsims to inhabit environments that we humans perceive as "extreme"? I have three primary research foci: the arctic benthic communities; North Carolina benthic communities, and invertebrates exposed to anoxic, sulfidic sediments.
