ACADEMIC & RESEARCH INTEREST

I conducts limnological studies related to the restoration or conservation of aquatic ecosystems. My 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.  I recognize that science is critical in developing longer-term, sustainable public policy.
