My limnological research focuses on the interaction of biogeochemistry and food web processes in lakes. I am especially interested in prediction of lake characteristics from land-water interactions and food web processes, including human effects such as fishing and introduction of exotic species. My research on these topics is connected to the LTER, BioComplexity, and Trophic Cascade projects.
I am also studying resilience of linked social-ecological systems. This work involves theoretical studies as well as case studies in selected regions of the world. Work at Wisconsin is affiliated with the LTER and BioComplexity projects. Additional collaborators are affiliated with the Resilience Alliance and the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment:
