Senior Honours Thesis Student
As a fourth-year ERS student, my research project focuses on the highly invasive wetland grass Phragmites australis subsp. australis and its impacts on aquatic ecosystems. I’m particularly focused on comparing seed-cleaning methods to better understand the plant's reproductive potential. My project involves a combination of fieldwork and lab-based experiments, aiming to refine techniques for studying seed biomass, viability, and quantity. Beyond this specific research, I’m also interested in the broader applications of restoration ecology, particularly in the use of native Phragmites species for wetland recovery and sustainable surface water management.
