Oxygen dynamics in the bottom waters of lakes: Understanding the past to predict the future
… will be more effective than actions to restore ecological function after oxygen concentrations have already declined. To build the capacity for such forecasts, I led a systematic review of ecological forecasting literature that characterized the state of the field, emerging best practices, and …

Ecosystem Models in a Bayesian State Space Framework
… frameworks for environmental prediction and forecasting applications. In this study, I focus on Bayesian State Space Models (SSMs) for modeling the temporal dynamics of carbon in terrestrial ecosystems. In Chapter 1, I provide an introduction to Ecological Forecasting, State Space Models, and …

Building, applying, and communicating ecosystem understanding via freshwater forecasts over time and space
… the need for improved predictions of future ecological conditions. Freshwater lakes and reservoirs, which provide numerous ecosystem services, are particularly threatened by global change stressors and have already exhibited substantial changes to their physical, chemical, and biological …

Forecasted Afrotropical Forest Responses to Climate Change Diverge from Neotropical Predictions with Consequences for Biodiversity Conservation and Carbon Storage
… forests with substantially different ecological, evolutionary, and anthropogenic histories.</p>

Predicting phytoplankton community dynamics: understanding water quality responses to global change
… between environmental heterogeneity and ecological community structure, both of which are currently undergoing unprecedented alterations due to global change. In particular, many freshwater phytoplankton communities are experiencing multiple global change stressors, altering phytoplankton …

The mathematical modeling and analysis of nonlocal ecological invasions and savanna population dynamics
… solutions which can be easily adapted and inform ecological work done in the field. Savanna is defined by the coexistence of trees and grass in seasonally dry areas of the tropics and sub-tropics, but there is no consensus as to why savanna occurs as a stable state between tropical grassland and …

The drivers of freshwater reservoir biogeochemical cycling and greenhouse gas emissions in a changing world
… (within a few weeks). Finally, I developed a forecasting workflow that successfully predicted future CH4 ebullition rates during one summer season. My research provides insight to how changing DO conditions will alter redox reactions in the water column and greenhouse gas emissions, as well as …
