Research Interests: My research interests straddle the interface of inland aquatic communities and ecosystems.  Research funding is driven by the importance of understanding factors which may compromise surface water quality and thus aquatic communities and ecosystems. Within this focus is an emphasis on how human impacts such as hydrological manipulation, nutrient loading, and fish management affect the structure and function of food webs, and the consequences for ecosystem processes.  Research methodology includes field sampling of water, habitats, and biota, analysis of large datasets, a broad range of statistical techniques, and stable isotope analysis. 

Current Research Projects:
Habitat and Population Analyses of Delta and Longfin Smelt (Center for California Water Resources Policy and Management; 2012-2014)

 

San Joaquin River Floodplain Production & Chinook Salmon Growth (US Bureau of Reclamation;  2013-?)

 

San Joaquin River Predator Study - Salmon Restoration (Fresno Regional Foundation;- 2013; collaborator US Fish & Wildlife Service)

 

Patterns and Sources of Fecal Indicator Bacteria in the San Joaquin River (Revive the San Joaquin; CSU-Fresno Associated Students and the College of Sci & Math; Ongoing)

 

Influence of Habitat Complexity on Brain Development in Juvenile Rainbow Trout (Collaboration w/ CA Fish & Game; 2012)

 

San Joaquin River – Effects of River Restoration on Angling and River Recreation
(CA Fish & Game; Lead PI-Dr. Mark Somma; 2010-2012)

 

Assessment of the Effects of Chemical Contaminants Used in Illegal Marijuana Cultivation in California National Parks (US NPS; w/ Graduate Student Daniel Jeffcoach 2011-2012)
