Bass recruitment & reproductive ecology; creel surveys; ecology of bonefish. |
Illinois Natural History Survey | ||
| Leon Hinz | Water and Land Stewardship |
Aquatic Ecology, Conservation Biology, Fisheries Management, Lotic Habitat. |
Illinois Natural History Survey | ||
| Dave Riecks-Soucek | Water and Land Stewardship |
Ecotoxicology of freshwater invertebrates; Impacts of contaminants on aquatic invertebrates. |
Illinois Natural History Survey | ||
| Jeremy Guest | Water and Land Stewardship |
Research interests in the development of biotechnologies and decision-making tools that enable the design of more sustainable environmental infrastructure systems. Primary focus is on sanitation and the development of bioprocesses that reduce life cycle environmental impacts, reduce costs, and increase performance reliability by achieving energy, nutrient, and product recovery from wastewaters. |
Civil and Environmental Engineering | ||
| Jonathan Tomkin | Water and Land Stewardship |
Researches how changing climates, surface processes, and tectonic forcings determine the landscapes we see around us, by testing theoretical models of landscape evolution and geodynamics against geomorphological, thermochronological and sedimentalogical observations. Recently, this research has involved fieldwork in the Olympic Mountains, the Patagonian Andes, and the Ross Sea. |
Geology | ||
| Rob Sanford | Water and Land Stewardship |
Focuses on the Microbial Ecology of biogeochemical processes, particularly those that occur in the subsurface. Of particular interest are studies involving respiratory anaerobic microorganisms, such as those that reduce halogenated compounds and metals, in polluted ecosystems. |
Geology | ||
| Steve Nesbitt | Water and Land Stewardship |
Uses the latest in satellite, ground-based, and airborne platforms to study the dynamics, microphysics, and climatic impacts of precipitating cloud systems. Specific research foci of group includes, Cloud systems: morphology, dynamics, and microphysics; Remote sensing of precipitation using radar and passive microwave techniques; Tropical cyclones; Surface-atmosphere interaction. |
Atmospheric Sciences | ||
| Feng Sheng Hu | Water and Land Stewardship |
Broadly trained ecologist working at the interfaces of biological, geological and climatological sciences. Uses"the natural experiments of the past" that are archived in geological deposits. These deposits offer a long-term holistic perspective into past environmental conditions, some of which do not exist today but may be analogs of different climatic conditions in the future. |
Plant Biology | ||
| Jonathan Greenberg | Water and Land Stewardship |
Research centers on addressing questions of the impacts of climate change and land use/land cover change on vegetated ecosystems using remote sensing data. |
Geography and Geographic Information Science | ||
| Edward Mehnert | Water and Land Stewardship |
Geologic carbon sequestration, groundwater modeling, groundwater monitoring, recharge estimation & groundwater-surface water interactions |
Illinois State Geological Survey |
