| Research Interests: |
I am interested in the ecology of streams and rivers and in fisheries science. Specific interests include: population and community ecology of riverine fishes, movement patterns and habitat relationships of riverine fishes, management of recreational fisheries, geographic information system (GIS) and remote sensing applications in fisheries and wildlife management, sampling designs and techniques, and ecosystem sustainability. My research is primarily field oriented with an emphasis on modeling patterns and processes in ecological systems. |
