We study the processes that control and are affected by the flow of carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, and other elements in and across ecosystems. We mostly work in lakes and streams, but not always. Sometimes we work in heavily polluted regions, other times we work in nutrient-poor regions. Always, we strive for our research to inform both ecosystem theory and sustainable environmental management. 

We are located in the School of Natural Resources within the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. The lab is led by Dr. Jessica Corman.
