Bio/Research

I received my BSc (Botany with a minor in Ecology), MSc and PhD (Botany) from the University of Guelph. I then held a limited limited-term appointment teaching Ecology, and Introductory Biology at Laurier, a Post-doctoral Research Associate position in the Department of Biological Sciences, Southeastern Louisiana University (SELU) in Hammond Louisiana and a faculty position in the Department of Biological Sciences at the University of North Texas.

In partnership with industry, government, non-profit organizations, and conservation authorities our research on urban and natural watershed issues is broadly focused on identifying the effects of anthropogenic stressors on wetland plants communities and determining the capacity of wetland plants and wetland plant communities to mitigate the effects of human population growth.

Specific areas of interest include contaminant effects on plants, understanding relationships between plants and beneficial soil dwelling symbionts (arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, rhizosphere bacteria), evaluating wetland restoration and creation efforts, identifying causes of rarity and invasiveness in wetland vegetation, and optimizing constructed wetland function.
