Research Interests:

Effects of landscape change on aquatic ecosystems. Large-scale (watershed, regional) ecological processes and integrative analyses. Effects of acidic deposition on fish communities

Role in Consortium:

Making sure the "pieces come together" into an integrated, well coordinated research effort and to produce scientifically sound and well focused case study assessments for the Willamette and Willapa basins and, to a lesser degree, at the regional scale. Also, ongoing research on developing models of ecosystem response to landscape change based on expert understanding of how these systems operate, and testing these expert-judgment based mdoels using field data.
