He has led the development of in-situ sediment capping and has evaluated its applicability to a wide range of contaminants and settings, including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons from fuels, manufactured gas plants, and creosotemanufacturing facilities; polychlorinated biphenyls; and metals. His current research activities are focused on sustainable water management and the assessment and remediation of contaminated sites.

His research involves basic and applied multiple-scale studies on the biology and ecology of aquatic ecosystems, how terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems are coupled, the influence of human activities on those processes, and microbe–insect interactions in aquatic systems and carrion decomposition. Specific projects include the ecology of microbial–invertebrate interactions and their role in mycobacterial disease emergence in West Africa; microbial–insect carrion interaction networks in watersheds of southeast Alaska; watershed biomonitoring; and carrion decomposition with applications in forensics, including human postmortem microbiome studies.

During the past decade his research has centered on the ecology, evolution, and management of the invasive and toxigenic golden alga Prymnesium parvum in lakes and rivers in Oklahoma, Texas, West Virginia, and Pennsylvania. He has recently begun a new long-term research effort aimed at coupling satellite-based remote sensing, digital field photography, and long-term water quality monitoring data on Oklahoman lakes in the effort to develop real-time monitoring capabilities aimed at ensuring public safety on the many public-access recreational lakes in the state.

His current research is focused on modeling population dynamics of fish and aquatic food webs, and how they respond to a variety of types of stressors, including changes in water flows and quality, lethal and sublethal effects of contaminants, hypoxia, alteration of physical habitat, and climate change. He recently published a model of the population dynamics of the delta smelt, which is a listed species in the California Delta that is the center of controversy about how much water can be pumped out of the system for irrigation and water supply.

Her recent research activities include using karst springs to understand transport in karst, monitoring urban stormwater and streams, and developing hydrogeophysical techniques to predict groundwater–surface water interaction. She teaches classes in groundwater hydrology including modeling with MODFLOW.
