Tracing Methane Production Using Stable Isotopes of Wetland Detritus
In this project, we used carbon stable isotopes of wetland detritus to trace both aerobic and anaerobic decomposition in the Copper River Delta (CRD) in Cordova, AK. This research was conducted as a part of Dr. Gary Lamberti's Stream and Wetland Ecology Lab at the University of Notre Dame. All field work on the CRD was conducted in collaboration with the USDA Forest Service, Cordova Ranger District, Alaska.

The Effect of Dissolved Organic Carbon on Diel Migration of Zooplankton
The primary objective of this study was to determine the effect of increased dissolved organic carbon on the vertical and horizontal migration behavior of freshwater zooplankton. This independent study was conducted as part of a 10-week field practicum at the University of Notre Dame Environmental Research Center located in the heart of the Northern Highland Lakes District in Land O'Lakes, WI.
