FRESHWATER CONSERVATION ECOLOGY

Picture

WELCOME

Greetings! I am an Assistant Professor of Wildlife Ecology at Clemson University and my research is largely focused on the ecology of freshwater species. I work with a diverse community of colleagues and students to understand how freshwater species respond to global change at the individual and population level, with the ultimate goal of understanding how responses scale up to affect ecosystem processes.

BASIC & APPLIED ECOLOGY

A fundamental goal of all our research is to provide conservation practitioners with objective information that can be used in decision making. Understanding how species interact with their environment (basic ecology) is necessary to predict how they will respond to environmental change - and can directly inform strategies (applied ecology) to address today's conservation challenges.

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.
