Current Students

  • Lucy Ellis
    • Lucy is researching the factors that affect primary production and respiration in human–constructed ponds.
  • Helena Loucas
    • Helena is studying how abiotic factors in human–constructed ponds affects the distribution and abundance of aquatic macroinvertebrates.

Past Students

  • Alyssa Oppedisano
    • Alyssa researched the role of nutrients and carbon quality on the interactions between leaf litter decomposition and aquatic sediments and the role of ponds in watershed organic matter processing.
  • Ariel Oglesby
    • Ariel researched the role of small ponds on the processing of organic matter in watersheds.
  • Gabrielle Huerta
    • Gabrielle researched the patterns of metabolism in small human-constructed ponds to contribute to our understanding of how these systems affect watershed carbon cycling.
  • Brittney Beazley
    • Brittney’s research used high frequency automated data collection to describe relationships between biogeochemical processes and environmental conditions.  Her research used data collected from the Longwood Environmental Observatory (LEO).
  • Jonathan Milisci
    • Jonathan described the abundance and size distribution of lakes and ponds in Virginia using GIS.
