RESEARCH
I investigate issues related to biodiversity, ecosystem impacts, and habitat preservation and restoration. I
have focused on the spread and impacts of non-native (exotic) species in ecosystems such as the Great
Lakes, the St. Lawrence River, and lakes and rivers in the Adirondacks and Tug Hill plateau. I am also
assessing the amounts, movements, and impacts of toxic mercury in wildlife.
