New postdoc: Jessica O'Connell

Our new postdoc, Jessica O'Connell, joined us earlier this year. She is working on the NASA wetland project. Jessica is a post doctoral researcher interested in discovering solutions to conservation issues in global change biology. Such conservation issues include disturbance effects, changing landscapes, changing species distributions, altered wetland ecosystem services and functions, and global climate change. She will be working on modeling soil carbon sequestration in freshwater wetlands in response to plant morphology and wetland management practices.
