This research bridges the gap between basic and applied fisheries ecology, integrating quantitative ecological analyses, spatial statistical methods, landscape ecology and conservation biology to address multiscale conservation and management issues driven by the needs of my cooperators. Recent projects have focused on wildfires in boreal stream ecosystems, impacts of hydrologic variability on materials transport and juvenile salmon growth in coastal rainforest watersheds, and the effects of an invasive predator on the persistence of native fishes.&nbsp;</p> <p>B.S., 2000 University of Missouri (Fisheries and Wildlife)<br />M.S., 2004 Kansas State University (Biology)<br />Ph.D., 2009 Colorado State University (Fisheries Biology)</p>
