Greg Jacobs

Dr. Greg Jacobs is a Researcher at Cornell University's Department of Natural Resources and the Environment within the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. His work focuses on understanding how life history, movement, and migration of organisms influence population dynamics and conservation strategies in aquatic ecosystems.

Education:

• PhD in Ecology, University of Georgia
• MS in Resource Ecology and Management, University of Michigan
• BS in Biology, Alma College

Research Interests:

• Conservation biology of freshwater and diadromous fishes
• Effects of environmental conditions on migratory fish life cycles
• Impact of human activities on aquatic systems
• Ecological interactions in stream and river ecosystems

Recent Research Trends: His studies emphasize migratory fish behavior, climate-driven habitat changes, and the application of advanced tools like otolith microchemistry and satellite telemetry. Work spans North American and tropical river systems, highlighting connectivity and conservation strategies for at-risk species like Chinook salmon and Lake Sturgeon.

Awards & Grants: No awards explicitly listed. His research has been supported through collaborative projects, including studies on salmon recovery and invasive species impacts.

Labs & Teams: Engaged in interdisciplinary teams addressing aquatic conservation, though specific lab names are not provided in the text.
