Research

Lindsey's research interests focus on coastal ecology and biogeochemical cycling in coastal systems. Her dissertation research involves assessing the effects of anthropogenic impacts and water column properties on benthic-pelagic coupling in coastal ecosystems. She conducts her research by collecting and analyzing short, intact sediment cores from stations along the Rhode Island coast.
