Bryan is a research associate in the School of Renewable Resources and is also pursuing a Ph.D. in the Department of Oceanography and Coastal Sciences. Bryan's research centers on coastal wetland habitat. He is interested in the interaction between marsh habitat, estuarine fish communities and climatic variability, particularly as it applies to the influence of physical pulse events. Additionally, Bryan is involved in studies of the effects of habitat restoration techniques (e.g. shoreline protection, thin-layer dredge material application) on coastal marsh ecology.
