Nate Jones (Lab PI)Nate is an interdisciplinary water scientist focused on improving the physical, chemical, and biological integrity of our water resources. His work spans gradients in hydrologic connectivity (e.g., upland wetlands, intermittent streams, and large-rivers), spatial scales (e.g., individual soil aggregates to watersheds), and disciplinary boundaries (e.g., engineering, environmental science, and the social sciences).

Delaney Peterson (PhD Student) Delaney is a PhD student interested in understanding the connections between groundwater and surface water. She received her BS from Virginia Tech in water resources, and she has had experience working in the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest studying the impacts of soil morphology on water chemistry. She is also interested in understanding the human dimensions of water resource management, and how interdisciplinary work between social and physical sciences can make a difference in the quality of watersheds.

Kaci Zarek (MS Student) Kaci is a MS student studying hydrologic connectivity and nitrogen biogeochemistry. She received her BS in Environmental Studies from the University of Kansas, and her undergrad research focused on dissolved gases (N2, CO2, O2, and CH4) in intermittent streams and carbon quality and quantity across different landuse gradients.

Zachary Foley (AMP Student) Zachary is an Accelerated Masters Program (AMP) student pursuing a BS and MS in Biology. He splits his time between the Ecohydrology lab and the Dendrochronology lab. He is interested in understanding drivers of false ring formation in bald cypress, their applications to streamflow reconstructions, and their relation to wetland ecosystem resilience. He loves being out in the field coring trees.

Lidia Molina Serpas
Lidia is a PhD student in both the Biogeochemistry and Ecohydrology lab where she is investigating the effects of flooding on biogeochemical function in wetland systems. She graduated from Gettysburg College with a BS in Environmental Studies and a minor in Biology. She received her MS in Geography from Auburn University where she investigated the effects of prescribed fire on soil properties and nutrient dynamics in a forested wetland watershed.
