I have been involved in studies of atmospheric deposition, throughfall, and nitrogen cycling at Hubbard Brook. I also led the synthesis of the long-term data on chloride and was the senior author on a paper for Biogeochemistry on this subject. Current projects include analysis of nitrogen cycling throughout the Hubbard Brook Valley and investigation of the role of beech bark disease on the structure and function of the forests at Hubbard brook.
