Eleanore Brown 

Eleanore is an undergraduate studying Environmental Engineering. Her research focuses on mechanisms of sand dune restoration post-hurricane impacts, in addition to work on a variety of other topics, including oyster restoration in salt marshes. She is passionate about protecting the environment and reversing damage caused by humans.

Alexa Cetta 

Alexa is an undergraduate studying Environmental Engineering Sciences. She first joined the lab in Spring of 2017 and has spent a summer completing field work and deploying experiments on Sapelo Island, Georgia as a GCE-LTER intern. More specifically, she has assisted with a multitude of projects including experiments examining aquatic toxicology, the effects of climate change on salt marsh ecosystems, and sand dune restoration

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. 

Hallie Fischman

Hallie is an undergraduate at Brown University studying Biology with a focus in Marine Biology. Her research takes place on Sapelo Island, Georgia, and focuses on ecosystem resilience and response to climate change. Specifically, she is conducting field experiments to quantify ribbed mussel accession on salt marshes as it relates to sea level rise and is testing the effects of intra- and interspecific facilitation in mediating the recovery of sand dune ecosystems following hurricane disturbance.

Michelle Taubler 

Michelle Taubler is a fourth year Environmental Engineering Sciences student at the University of Florida. She joined the lab in the summer of 2018. Currently she assists in multiple research projects that explore concepts such as how natural variation in plant mass contributes to sand dune recovery and how estuary health threats vary across the southeast US. Her research interests are focused on ecological restoration.
