I'm interested in diverse research topics related to applied ecology and wildlife conservation, especially in the desert ecosystems of the Southwestern United States. Much of my work to date focuses on understanding human...

Stream Ecology. Stream and riparian zone ecology, including impacts of land use practices and restoration; role of large wood in streams; salmonid ecology; stream community dynamics; environmental history using GIS & remote sensing; stable isotope tracer studies of nitrogen dynamics and...

My research focuses on the application of population and landscape ecology principles to better understand and predict how species respond to environmental heterogeneity across ecological and spatial scales. My research involves three major themes: (1) the development, evaluation, and...

I will be working to improve the Pacific Northwest shellfish industry by exploring a sustainable method to combat larval mortalities caused by the pathogen Vibrio coralliilyticus.

I study the influence of climate and landscape on species distributions, metapopulation dynamics, and functional connectivity in wildlife species in contemporary and future timescales. I seek to apply this information towards mitigation scenarios for focal species such as American pika and swift...

Aquatic restoration and aquatic invertebrates. Fish distribution of native and non-native species in the Pacific Northwest. Role of wood in aquatic ecosystems. Riparian ecology.
