My teaching and research interests are in the area of environmental chemistry, biogeochemistry and water quality modeling. I have initiated a number of research projects and used a variety of approaches to study the biogeochemistry of forest, wetland, freshwater and coastal ecosystems, including field investigations, laboratory studies, long-term field measurements, whole-ecosystem manipulation studies, and the development and application of models. I have authored or co-authored more than 270 peer-reviewed articles and have had more than 70 funded research projects. I currently am the principal investigator of the National Science Foundation Long-Term Ecological Research project at the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest, New Hampshire.

I have received numerous awards and honors. In 1984, I was designated as a Presidential Young Investigator by the National Science Foundation. I have provided expert testimony on ecological effects of air pollution to the Senate Commerce Committee and the House Science Committee. I have been acknowledged by the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI) as one of the top 250 most highly cited researchers in two areas: environmental science and engineering. I have served on many local, national and international committees. I was a member of the National Research Council Panel on Process of Lake Acidification and Committee of Air Quality Management. I am currently a member of the board of trustees of the Hubbard Brook Research Foundation and the Upstate Freshwater Institute.
