个人简介

I teach introductory biology courses and mid- and upper-division courses in environmental biology, ecology, and water quality. I primarily advise students interested in careers in environment - broadly defined. My research areas are (1) land use and water quality and (2) snails of Kansas.

研究领域

I've worked in water quality monitoring (biological and chemical), assessment, and regulation. My interests in water quality continue through contract research projects and various undergraduate and graduate student projects. I maintain the Department's Environmental Quality Laboratory in support of instruction and research in water quality - both chemical and biological. Local sites such as the rivers in the Spring River watershed (Spring River, Center Creek, Cow Creek), the various local strip mine lakes, and the sites of the Southeast Kansas Biological Station (SKBS) have been used for coursework, undergraduate research, and graduate research. In addition to water quality work, I also maintain and add to a compendium of the mollusks of Kansas including land snails, aquatic snails, and sphaerid clams". (Kansas Mollusks).
