Coastal Wetlands StudiesDani Weissman
2016 The Garden Club of America Award in Coastal Wetlands Studies
Dani Weissman is a master’s student in Dr. Kate Tully's Agroecology Lab in the Department of Plant Science and Landscape Architecture at the University of Maryland, College Park and a Graduate Research Assistant at the National Socio-Environmental Synthesis Center (SESYNC) in Annapolis, MD. Her research is to quantify the increase of phosphate levels in the wetlands of the Choptank River Watershed of the Chesapeake Bay due to saltwater intrusion and upstream phosphorus inputs from agricultural applications. She employs a data synthesis approach with field and laboratory studies in order to develop a better picture of water quality trends in this human-altered system and to identify the biogeochemical mechanisms of nutrient release. The overall goal of her research is to provide information to policy-makers for the revision of best management practices.
