Daniel (Dong) Lee has just joined us to work on the NSF grant. Daniel finished his Ph.D. at the University of Maryland last year, working with Dr. Jeff Cornwell. Daniel will spend most of his time with Olivia down the hall in Dr. Neubaer's lab, and his research will focus on the ecosystem-level responses of tidal freshwater wetlands to saltwater intrusion. We're already putting Daniel's engineering skills to use - building anaerobic chambers and designing a solar-powered cell-phone-controlled irrigation system for our field-scale salinity addition.
