... She has served on the Governing Board of the Estuarine Research Federation (now Coastal and Estuarine Research Federation) and four National Academies committees on coastal issues: the Committee on Causes and Management of Coastal Eutrophication, the Committee on Evaluation of NOAA's Sectoral Applications Research Program to Provide Climate Change Information to Resource Managers, the Committee on National Needs in Coastal Mapping and Charting, and the Committee on the Evaluation of Chesapeake Bay Program Implementation for Nutrient Reduction to Improve Water Quality.

... In her present role, she leads applied research advancing ecological restoration methods for endangered species recovery, understanding of the cumulative effects of large-scale ecosystem restoration, spatial planning and modeling of wetland evolution associated with coastal resilience, blue carbon and climate-adaptation studies, and impacts-assessment for energy infrastructure. She has served on several technical advisory committees and project teams in the Pacific Northwest and elsewhere, including roles as an appointee of the Washington State Commissioner of Public Lands to the WA Natural Heritage Advisory Council, and as a system expert for the Louisiana Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority's adaptive management of large-scale ecosystem restoration.

... He has held editorial positions at the journals Systematic Zoology, Estuaries and Coasts, Gulf of Mexico Science, and Marine Ecology Progress Series. In addition, he regularly serves on advisory and review panels for state and federal agencies, including the Scientific Advisory Committees for the Mobile Bay and Pensacola/Perdido Bays National Estuary Programs, and EPA and NOAA panels concerning nutrient criteria in Florida waters and the effects of sea level rise on the northern Gulf of Mexico.

... He combines field-based remote sensing with satellite remote sensing to model and map water quality and vegetation biophysical characteristics of coastal systems. His current projects include developing a satellite-based decision-support tool for coastal salt marsh conservation and restoration in the southeastern United States; modeling and mapping cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms dynamics in inland waters; combining Eddy Flux tower and satellite-based data to model and predict gross primary productivity and carbon sequestration potential of wetlands; and developing the cyberinfrastructure for monitoring coastal marshes and inland water quality.
From page 195...
... Since joining the National Academies staff, she has worked on 17 consensus studies and workshops, including understanding the long-term evolution of the coupled natural–human system on the Gulf Coast for the GRP; decadal surveys on Earth and ocean science for the National Science Foundation, as well as next-generation Earth systems sciences; future water priorities and assuring laboratory data quality for the U.S. Geological Survey, and studies on marine hydrokinetic energy, methane hydrates, coal mining and human health, and geoscience education.
