| Research Interests My broad research interests focus primarily on the conservation, restoration and management of freshwater ecosystems. This includes examining the factors regulating the abundance of aquatic organisms, specifically sport fish, at multiple spatial scales including lake, sub-watershed and watershed levels. Current Research Currently, my research efforts focus on the application of Topographic Indices (TI) within a Geographic Information System (GIS) framework in order to address the impact of groundwater flow on Brook Trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) reproduction and survival. This research provides a criteria on which to base brook trout restoration decisions in the Adirondack's and provides a landscape sclae context on which to base future management decisions. |
