Dr. Jones is a microbial ecologist who specializes in nutrient cycling and water quality research. Much of his work involves studying the mechanisms by which excess nutrients and pollutants affect microbial processes in wetlands and coastal environments. Currently he is conducting research on phosphorus cycling and the mobilization and accumulation of mercury in the Florida Everglades, Florida Keys, and Florida Bay. Methods used include a wide variety of analytical chemistry techniques and microbial enzymatic and functional assays.
