Science-policy linkage in natural resource management and applied aquatic
ecology
Research
My research has two components: the science-policy linkage in natural resource
management and applied aquatic ecology (i.e., the quantitative science which
influence management decisions). In the former component, I address water quality
policy and decision making in environmental management. The focus is on optimal
use of scientific information to develop and implement the most sustainable
policies and management strategies. In the applied ecology components, I address
the ways in which aquatic ecosystems respond to various stressors. A wide variety
of stream, lake and wetland ecosystems have been involved in studies of nutrient
cycling, decomposition, and ecosystem structure and function, all leading toward
a better understanding of integrated watershed management.
