01
Wetland Functioning
How wetlands work
We study how wetland size, position, hydrology, and soil traits shape their hydrologic and biogeochemical roles.
About Wetlandscapes
Our mission
Our mission is to advance understanding of wetlands as critical natural systems, revealing how their size, connectivity, and management shape water quality. We provide evidence that supports the protection and restoration of these landscapes for healthier watersheds and communities.
Understanding wetlands from site to watershed
What We Study
Wetland science across the landscape
We connect individual wetland characteristics with broader watershed patterns to understand where wetlands provide the greatest water-quality benefits.
02
Watershed Connectivity
How systems connect
We examine how wetland density, location, and connectivity influence watershed health and downstream water quality.
03
Human Impacts
How management matters
We explore how people have altered wetlandscapes and how protection and restoration can improve downstream water quality.
