Julie Grisset  

Julie is an undergraduate studying Environmental Engineering at the University of Florida. She joined the lab in the Fall of 2019 to assist with benthic crab community research across mangrove, ecotone, and salt marsh ecosystems, and she is continuing her work with the lab during the Summer of 2020 as a GCE-LTER intern studying marsh disturbances and recovery and the associated impacts. Julie is passionate about coastal ecosystems and is particularly interested in studying water quality and coastline resiliency in the face of rising sea levels.

Payton Billingsley 

Payton Billingsley is a fourth year student studying Civil and Environmental Engineering at Mississippi State University. Payton joined the lab in the summer of 2020, and she assists with projects focused on the morpho-hydrodynamics of saltmarsh intertidal zones. Shoreline restoration, wave climate mapping, and marine ecology encompass her previous research. With research interests at the intersection of engineering and ecology, Payton hopes to use her findings to inform conservation and build resilient communities.

Jamie Rogers

Jamie is an undergraduate studying Biology at Georgia Tech. She joined the lab as a GCE-LTER Intern on Sapelo Island in the Summer of 2019 and has stayed on to continue more experiments on the island. The research she has been apart of includes investigation of ecosystem services and restoration potential of the ribbed mussel and evaluation of large and small scale salt marsh disturbances. Jamie is all about protecting and enjoying Georgia's magnificent, unique, and vital coast.
