Matt Shockey is our newest team member! Matt graduated from LSU this spring with a degree in Natural Resource Ecology and Management. During his time at LSU, Matt conducted research on shrink-swell clays in bottomland hardwood forests. He also spent multiple summers interning at a stream restoration firm in Maryland. Here at UA, Matt plans to study how river-floodplain connectivity impacts ecosystem functions. [We're also working on his football team preferences...Roll Tide!]
Delaney Peterson is joining the lab in Fall 2020! She's joins us from Virginia Tech (Go Hokies!!!), where she received a BS in Water Resources and a BA in Religion and Culture. During her undergrad, Delaney conducted research on hydropedology at the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest in New Hampshire, and she was also a member of the HighTechs varsity dance team. Here in Tuscaloosa, Delaney plans to research watershed hydrology and biogeochemistry.
