At 星空无限传媒app, I direct the Institute for Environmental Studies (IES) and am Chair of 星空无限传媒app鈥檚 interdisciplinary Ph.D. program in Environmental Science.

My work bridges the gap between environmental engineering and environmental science/ecology.听 For over 20 years,听I鈥檝e designed, conducted, and led large-scale environmental assessments that involve stakeholders from a variety of academic, regulatory, and nongovernmental organizations.听 My goal is to integrate extensive field investigations with laboratory studies and modeling to develop remediation approaches that result in lasting improvements to the quality and resilience of natural aquatic systems.听听Due to the scope of these topics, I typically work with a multidisciplinary team of biologists, engineers, geographers, geologists, and planners, among others.

In addition to my position at 星空无限传媒app, I serve on the Ecological Society of America's Board of Professional Certification and am an ABET Program Evaluator. I have been President of the Aquacultural Engineering Society (AES) and continue to serve on the editorial board of the Journal of Aquacultural Engineering.听 I was also the panel manager for the U.S. Department of Agriculture鈥檚 Aquaculture Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program.

Since my work cuts across several traditional academic disciplines, I've found that it's important to establish and maintain professional credentials that complement my education; to that end, I'm a Board Certified Environmental Engineering Member (BCEEM) of the听American Academy of Environmental Engineers and Scientists听(AAEES) and an听Ecological Society of America听Certified Senior Ecologist (CSE).

My Recent Work ...

Take a minute to learn about our new water level sensor systems which were provided by the Moline Conservation Club.听 These systems are solar-powered and are controlled via a 4G cell signal.听 This allows us to monitor water levels and the microclimate in the vicinity of the sensors on a 24-7 basis!
