Camille LaFosse Stagg, Ph.D.
Camille Stagg is a Research Ecologist at the Wetland and Aquatic Research Center in Lafayette, Louisiana.
Camille's research focuses on how ecosystem functions, such as elevation change, carbon cycling, and resilience, are affected by global stressors. Her goal is to understand how these processes respond to changing conditions, including rising sea levels, elevated atmospheric CO2, and land use change, to provide guidance for management and restoration of these dynamic ecosystems.
