Some general thoughts about my research efforts
My research efforts often involve large-scale experimental manipulations and also make use of natural experiments - such as disturbances or variable climate conditions - that can help identify key ecosystem processes relevant to aquatic resource management. During my 15 years at Cornell I have been able to initiate and oversee several long-term projects evaluating key aquatic resource management issues, including: climate change impacts on coldwater fish and aquatic ecosystems, the impacts of dominant invasive species on fish communities and ecosystems, factors influencing large-scale fish mortality from thiamin deficiency, and the influence of forested landscapes on ecosystem processes in lakes and rivers.
Inevitably, the activities described in my web pages do not fully reflect my current research efforts. If you have questions or are interested in updated perspectives on subjects described in these web pages, feel free to contact me.
