Dr. Brian Roberts
Aquatic ecosystem ecology and biogeochemistry:
I am interested in understanding how human activities affect the capacity of aquatic ecosystems along the continuum from headwater streams and lakes to large rivers, estuaries, and open-ocean ecosystems to process and retain nutrients and energy.
