个人简介

I teach introductory and intermediate-level courses related to environmental biology and ecology, in addition to upper-division courses concerning fishes and aquatic biology. My major research interests include stream fish ecology, climate change, nonnative species, and conservation biology. For further information, please visit my professional website. I advise in the emphasis areas of Field Biology & Environment, and Ecology & Organismic Biology. These emphases prepare students for positions in government agencies, non-governmental organizations, and private consulting firms, or to continue their education in pursuit of a graduate degree. I meet with students at least once per semester for pre-enrollment conferences to determine class schedules for upcoming semesters, but am also available for meetings as needed.

研究领域

My research seeks to inform the conservation and management of aquatic organisms in an era of global change. The aquatic organisms I am most interested in include fishes, macroinvertebrates, and amphibians. Previous geographic regions where I have conducted research include streams and rivers located in the desert southwest and Midwestern tallgrass prairie streams of the United States, in addition to my involvement in synthesis projects that included the entire United States and Canada.
