Knights Hydrology Lab
Welcome!
Research
Our current work focuses on understanding the hydrologic and ecologic processes controlling nutrient exchange, flow, and delivery within complicated hydrologic environments. The cycling of solutes controls the nature of nutrient delivery to larger bodies of water and oceans which has far reaching environmental and societal consequences, including the health of local fisheries, global primary production, and more.

The effects of seasonality and nutrient loading on nutrient uptake in an urban beaver wetland (poster)
Kyra Hoffman and Dr. Deon Knights
2023
Objectives: to understand the role of beaver wetlands in urban settings to nitrate and phosphate removal, and how seasonality and nutrient load affect removal function. Methods include nitrate and phosphate additions monitored with benthic chambers over a six-month period.
