My research broadly revolves around characterizing anthropogenic impacts on aquatic ecosystems and identifying conservation strategies for effectively protecting and restoring watersheds. Understanding the mechanisms by which urbanization and its associated stressors result in degraded biotic assemblages is an overarching challenge of my research program. I am interested in examining effects of alterations (e.g., hydrology, temperature, habitat, food resources) on fishes, mussels, and macroinvertebrates; population ecology and conservation of rare and endangered species; and potential for management to restore freshwater ecosystems.
