My Ph.D. research involves paleoenvironmental reconstructions of Ohio's inland lakes based on modern and historical (pre-industrial) diatom assemblages. I plan to use these reconstructions to better understand how these lakes have been altered by agriculture and other pollution sources, and to determine the extent to which polluted lakes can reasonably be restored.
