About
The interactions of people and wildlife have always fascinated me, and one of the most lasting and frequently unrecognized manners in which wildlife are impacted by humans is through environmental contamination. My research is aimed at further understanding the long-term implications of anthropogentric habitat alterations, such as contamination, on the environment and wildlife living in these contaminated landscapes. Many of these effects are sub-lethal, resulting in complex interactions of environment, organisms, disease, and stressors (such as contaminants). I believe the more we understand about these interactions, the better equipped we will be in identifying, managing, and mitigating truly deleterious environmental degradation, and improve overall ecosystem and human health.
