Research Interest:
My research focuses on processes that structure aquatic ecosystems with an emphasis on fish communities. I seek to address aquatic resource management problems with informed decisions derived from field studies, computer simulations, and experimental manipulations. I see "problem" issues in natural resource management (e.g., introduced species, overexploitation, habitat alteration) as opportunities for research into ecosystem function. This insight can then be used to evaluate management scenarios as part of informed decision making. A copy of my CV is available via this link.
