This research investigates phosphorus pollution in Lake Warner by comparing water movement and phosphorus transport through urban and forested landscapes. Forests naturally filter phosphorus due to slower water travel and greater infiltration, while urban runoff accelerates pollution. The study identifies how interventions such as rain gardens can reduce phosphorus loading into lakes.

This research investigates methane emissions from restored marshes as a climate solution. While marshes sequester CO₂, their methane output varies widely. By measuring emissions and environmental factors, the study examines how interactions influence outcomes, highlighting that restoration can aid climate mitigation but requires deeper understanding to ensure effectiveness.
