My dissertation research focuses on the role of Calcium in northern hardwood forest floor ecology. I am studying community structure and trophic interactions between snails, arthropods and terrestrial salamanders in forests with varying levels of available Calcium in the organic soil horizon. In a landscape that has undergone historically high levels of acid deposition, this research will provide insight into the effects that Calcium leaching may have on the leaf litter fauna and bottom up processes in northeastern forests.

Studying the relationship between land use change and hydrology in the heavily urbanized Rio Piedras watershed of San Juan, Puerto Rico. The study also looks to determine impacts of runoff and flooding on vulnerable populations and areas identified as areas of concern by community stakeholders. Additional study questions will address the analysis of the importance of using quality land cover data as inputs for geographic models, and how the quality of land cover data will impact modeled ecological/hydrological function.

I am studying the communication of food system sustainability by the UN Food and Agriculture Organization through multimedia. My research is focused on the the interplay of power and legitimacy in global communications entities like the UN and how existing structures may inhibit or support progress towards a more sustainable global food system. I am especially interested in the use of new and multiple forms of environmental communication including GIS mapping, info-graphics, and video. Favorite Quote
"Many environmental writers tell us to connect. The issue is more about regrouping: reestablishing some functioning fantasy that will do for now, to preserve our sanity. Yet this is radically impossible, because of the total nature of the catastrophe and the fact that there is no script for it (we are "still here," and so on). It's like waking up: it becomes impossible to go back to sleep and dream in good faith. The ecological disaster is like being in a cinema when suddenly the movie itself melts. Then the screen melts. Then the cinema itself melts. Or you realize your chair is crawling with maggots. You can't just change the movie. Fantasizing at all becomes dubious."

I am studying riparian forest dynamics along California’s Sacramento River. I love both forests and rivers, and am interested in how they affect one another. I hope to analyze the relationship between flow regimes and tree recruitment and succession, particularly focusing on the Fremont Cottonwoods native to the area. Utilizing GIS, hundreds of tree cores, and sediment data, I hope to draw a picture of how the riparian forest has changed in relation to the Sacramento River over time.

Marvin is a trained environmental scientist and engineer from the National University of Singapore, where he specialized in the technical and economic aspects of sustainable forms of bioenergy production. His encounters with the burgeoning environmental and social impacts of agriculture-based biofuels in Southeast Asia led him to explore the policy and social dimensions of biofuels production for his doctoral research. In particular, he is interested in studying the decision-making processes in collaborative management regimes that integrate indigenous cultural communities to the global production systems of "sustainable biofuels." Marvin is pursuing a concurrent Masters in Public Administration degree at the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs to further hone his knowledge on policy, governance and collaboration. He carried out his doctoral field research in the Philippines from 2011-12.
