My name is Timothy Morin. I am a Ph.D. student in the Environmental Science Graduate Program (ESGP) housed within the department of Civil and Environmental Engineering and Geodetic Science advised by Dr. Gil Bohrer at the Ohio State University. My undergraduate degree is in mechanical engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology in my home town of Atlanta, Georgia. Between my undergraduate education and graduate school I served as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Guyana for two years in a small riverine wetland community where I discovered my passion for wetlands. I now study the carbon cycle in wetlands, particularly methane emissions using a variety of cutting edge field methodologies and state-of-the-art ecosystem modeling techniques.
