My research combines observational and experimental data to broaden understanding of aquatic ecology. I am particularly interested in addressing tractable environmental problems.
My stream ecology research focused on the behavioral ecology of stream invertebrates and how it is affected by global change (i.e., climate change, invasive species and the interaction between the two). In addition I examined how stream community recovery on disturbed substrate is affected by silk deposition of black fly larvae.
My first estuarine ecology project examined how osmoregulatory energy costs influenced feeding rates of an esturarine copepod. We also have several papers examining spatially and temporally explicit Delta Smelt biomarker, histological and foraging data. More recently I've been looking at the influence of human influences on the hydrodynamics of the San Francisco Estuary, and the influence of the hydrodynamics have on phytoplankton.
