He is a recipient of a National Defense Science and Engineering Graduate Fellowship, administered by the American Society for Engineering Education.<\/p>\n
Brandon Puckett, reserve research coordinator, is excited about the new projects.<\/p>\n
\u201cBoth fellows bring creative approaches to addressing two issues of critical importance to the reserve, and coastal management in general: vulnerability of coastal communities to sea-level rise and management of invasive species,\u201d he notes.<\/p>\n
\u201cAlthough Jill and Seth will address disparate research topics during their fellowship, the implications from both projects may improve the resilience of coastal communities by promoting an improved appreciation for the important ecosystem services provided by coastal wetlands.\u201d<\/p>\n
