Hydro-ecology of Flowing Waters
Gregory B. Noe has been an ecologist with the U.S. Geological Survey's National Research Program in Reston, VA since 2002. Dr. Noe’s research centers on wetland ecosystem ecology, focusing on the interactive influences of hydrology, geomorphology, climate, and biology on nitrogen and phosphorus biogeochemistry in fluvial ecosystems, as well as plant community ecology and restoration ecology. His dissertation research identified the complex controls on annual plant germination in the salt marshes of southern California. This was followed by post-doctoral research on phosphorus biogeochemistry and enrichment effects in the Florida Everglades. When joining the USGS, he started a research program on nutrient cycling, transport, and retention in wetlands associated with flowing waters. This work includes quantifying nutrient retention by riverine floodplains from site to watershed scales, with study sites located in Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, and Louisiana, phosphorus and sediment transport research in the Florida Everglades, and studies of nutrient dynamics in created mitigation bank wetlands located in Virginia. He is currently serving on the editorial boards of Wetlands and Wetlands Ecology and Management, is the past Chair of the South Atlantic Chapter of the Society of Wetland Scientists, and has served on the program committees of national and international scientific conferences.
