| Jody Endres | Water and Land Stewardship |
Regulatory and other policy strategies to address water quality and quantity issues in agriculture and energy production, both domestically and internationally. |
Natural Resources and Environmental Sciences | ||
| Courtney Flint | Water and Land Stewardship |
Focuses on the decision making implications of rural stakeholders for community and regional well-being. Examines how perceptions of ecosystem services, water quality risks, and climate change influence resource management decisions. Lab has a variety of transdisciplinary, mixed methods projects underway including being engaged in a large project with biogeochemists and agricultural engineers to explore socio-economic dimensions of innovations to reduce agricultural nitrate runoff. |

| Bruce Fouke | Water and Land Stewardship |
Latest research includes determination of how organic macromolecules produced by bacteria and corals affect the precipitation of carbonate biominerals during rapid environmental changes in temperature and oxygen concentration. The natural laboratories for this work are travertine hot springs in Yellowstone and coral reef ecosystems of the Netherlands Antilles. Results are providing fundamental new knowledge of the extent to which feedbacks between minerals, metazoans (coral) and thermophilic bacteria control the carbonate biomineralization process. |
