Field(s) of Research:
  • Aquatic Ecosystems Science
  • Aquatic Habitat / Aquatic Environmental Science
  • Fish Population Science
  • Limnology / Freshwater ecology
Research Description:
My research areas include fish ecology, fish and habitat conservation and restoration, and environmental impact assessments of anthropogenic flow and climate changes on fish populations. I am particularly interested in issues regarding (1) the winter biology of freshwater fishes in respect to habitat use and availability, energetic costs of overwintering, survival, and activity patterns, (2) fish passage through fishways and culverts, and (3) the effects of turbulence on fish behaviour and energetics.
