Research Interests
|
|
Dr. Bernhardt's research measures the impacts of global environmental change (including urbanization, N deposition, rising CO2, sea level rise, land use change, and chemical pollution) on watershed biogeochemistry and aquatic ecosystem structure and function. In her work she endeavors to not only better define the scope of the challenges ecosystems are facing but to also identify and test the capacity for human intervention to mitigate or minimize these impacts in order to sustain ecosystem stru |
