Cory David Suski

Cory David Suski is a Professor in the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Sciences at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. His affiliations include the Prairie Research Institute, the Institute for Sustainability, Energy, and Environment, and the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies. He is based in Urbana, Illinois, with an office at 1102 S. Goodwin Ave and a phone number 217-244-2237.

Suski’s research expertise spans fisheries management, aquatic ecology, conservation biology, environmental science, and the physiological responses of aquatic organisms to environmental stressors. His work integrates field studies with molecular approaches, addressing issues such as invasive species control, climate change impacts on fish populations, and the effects of recreational angling on fish health and recovery.

His recent publications reflect a focus on innovative solutions to ecological challenges, including using carbon dioxide curtains to deter invasive fish and analyzing public engagement with fisheries regulations. He also explores the health of endangered species like the Indiana bat through non-invasive molecular techniques. His research highlights trends in balancing human activities, such as angling tournaments, with conservation goals and understanding how climate extremes affect aquatic ecosystems.
