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.
