Professor
and Director •
Ph.D. (1982, University of Florida) • LSU Department of
Oceanography & Coastal Sciences and Wetland Biogeochemistry
Institute
- Areas
of specialization: systems ecology and biogeochemistry of coastal
wetlands both in the Gulf of Mexico and throughout Latin America,
describing biogeochemical processes (denitrification, nutrient
burial, benthic nutrient fluxes) that determine the function
of coastal ecosystems as either a source or sink of primary
nutrients to near shore environments, determining the role of
mangroves in the fate of carbon and nutrients in tropical estuaries
