What We Do

The Braswell Lab focuses on coastal ecosystem ecology through researching the connections between upland, coastal and human systems. The lab’s research program focuses on the formation, persistence and degradation of coastal ecosystems within the context of the surrounding terrestrial, marine and urban systems. We use a variety of approaches to understand these complex socio-environmental systems, including geospatial data analysis and collection of empirical field data. Linking ecological, geomorphic and demographic data, the lab’s interdisciplinary research seeks to understand coastal ecosystems within a macroscale ecology framework. The lab also works with stakeholders and managers to create tools and produce knowledge to better manage and understand coastal watersheds and ecosystems.
