The Besterman Lab works in dynamic, spatially complex, and usually muddy coastal landscapes where land and water meet (coastal wetlands, tidal flats, shallow bays). Our work is motivated by a fascination with the natural world as well as the urgent need for science that addresses global change. We study ecosystem-scale structure and process in marshes and tidal flats, and interactions with vegetation, benthic invertebrate communities, and migratory birds.
