Salmon Population Ecology

In a rapidly changing climate and landscape, it is important to understand how environmental drivers in the freshwater and marine ecosystems influence the productivity of highly valued salmon populations. The aquatic ecology group investigates population-specific responses to environmental variation. We are particularly interested in studying how freshwater indicators such as temperature and hydrology affect salmon life history diversity. Additionally, we work with natural resource management agencies to better understand juvenile salmon distributions, habitat use, fitness, and growth potential during their freshwater residency.
