FRESHWATER CONSERVATION ECOLOGY

WELCOME

Thanks for visiting!  I am an Assistant Professor of Wildlife Ecology at Clemson University and Principal Investigator of the Freshwater Conservation Ecology research group.  Our team includes a diverse group of post-docs, PhD, MS, and undergraduate students. We collaborate with individuals from other academic institutions, private foundations, NGOs, and state and federal agencies to address questions concerning the ecology and conservation of freshwater species.  Most of our work is centered on understanding how wildlife respond to environmental change at both the individual and population level. 

Meet our team...

WHAT WE DO

 The overarching goal of all the research we conduct is to answer pressing ecological questions while providing conservation practitioners with objective information to better manage species and habitats.

SOME OF OUR PROJECTS

Aquatic insects, mussels, amphibians, and alligators are different in many ways - but they all depend on freshwater to complete their life cycle ​and can play important ecological roles in the systems they inhabit.  We are working to understand how they interact with their environment in order to help conserve their populations and the functions they provide.
