Current Research Interest:

My dissertation research investigates the complex dynamics of trout life history and the mechanisms driving stochasticity in juvenile trout production, survival, and recruitment through space and time across riverscapes in southwest Montana. I employ techniques such as isotopic analysis of otoliths, traditional fisheries field sampling, modeling, and physiological biochemistry to elucidate both meta and mechanistic patterns in trout ecology.
