Applied Aquatic Ecology
Our research
Our work focuses on applying ecological principles to the solution of applied problems in freshwater ecology.
Ecological Restoration
What are the predictors, effects, and timelines for restoring damaged ecosystems?
Example projects
- Evaluating restoration of the Middle Fork John Day River following multiple restoration activities. (Robin Henderson)
- Response of an artificial, treatment wetland to vegetation removal and maintenance. (Max Burner)
Ecotoxicology
How do freshwater species and communities respond to toxic materials?
Example projects
- Response of freshwater plankton communities to long-term metals deposition. (Yessica Carnley)
- Rapid toxicity tests for screening consumer chemicals. (Geoff Schramm)
