Nitrogen movement and transformation: A journey from slopes through streams to urban wetlands in the Arizona desert

The Arizona desert is a model ecosystem for studying how limited water availability and biological activity affect the movement and cycling of nitrogen through the landscape. I am presenting three components of my dissertation research on this topic. In addition, I am presenting a brief teaser on the research I am doing on cyanobacterial algal blooms across the US for my position with the EPA. I will present a few graphics to illustrate some of the research questions associated with this project.

Impact/Purpose

I am presenting to the Water Research Group at OSU and PSU about my prior research and current research efforts within the EPA. This presentation will introduce my work to member of the OSU and PSU communities that have similar research interests and is an opportunity to exchange research ideas and potentially form collaborations.
