Our team from UST received an honorable mention in the 2015 EPA P3 competition, putting us in the company of teams from Stanford, Johns Hopkins, UC Davis, and Arizona State. UST was the only liberal arts undergraduate program represented among the finalists. Our project explored the potential to use hydroponic gardens to remove excess phosphorus from urban lakes.

Sustainability Columns in Roseville Patch
In 2012 I wrote a series of columns exploring where our resources come from, where our waste goes, and what it means to live sustainably in an urban environment.

Great Lakes Research Cruise: July 14-31, 2011 on R/V Blue Heron
The goal of this 18-day cruise was to measure microbial transformations of nitrogen in three of the Great Lakes. Our cruise path took us along a biogeochemical gradient, from the deep, cold, low-phosphorus, highly oxygenated waters of Lake Superior to the shallow, warm, high-phosphorus, low-oxygen waters of Lake Erie. Measurements included water and chemistry, potential denitrification, sediment C, N, and O flux from core incubations, nitrification rates, and abundance of nitrifiers.
