Research
I conduct basic and applied research to better understand the drivers of native species declines and non-native species success. My team also develops and evaluates methods to improve conservation of native species and environmental systems using geospatial and field techniques. Although much of our research is in aquatic ecosystems, we also work with terrestrial species and communities.
