The Aquatic Ecosystem Analysis Laboratory (AEAL) is located at the University of Nevada- Reno. Our lab conducts [limnological] studies related to the restoration or conservation of aquatic ecosystems. These projects include recovering native species, managing nonnative species, understanding the affects of land use change (mining, urbanization, etc) on water quality, and developing  natural resource management & conservation plans for the world’s largest, freshwater fishes.  We recognize that science is critical in developing longer-term, sustainable public policy.  Thus our lab works closely with local, state, federal, tribal, & nonprofit organizations to assist them in creating management strategies for their lakes & rivers.
