Lowell W Adams

Dr. Lowell W Adams is an Adjunct Associate Professor in the Department of Environmental Science & Technology at the University of Maryland, College Park, affiliated with the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources. His work focuses on urban wildlife conservation, biodiversity management, and environmental policy. He has contributed extensively to understanding the impacts of urbanization on wildlife habitats, stormwater management, and national park governance in Brazil and the US.

Adams' research spans decades, with early work exploring tritium kinetics in freshwater marsh ecosystems and later expanding into urban ecology. His publications address topics such as wildlife corridors, highway impacts on fauna, and the role of public spaces in conservation. He has advised on habitat planning, highway corridor management, and stormwater control pond design to balance ecological and human needs.

Notable contributions include the 'Urban Wildlife Research Center' historical analysis, guidelines for urban habitat conservation, and studies on translocated grey squirrel populations. His work bridges ecological science with policy, emphasizing interdisciplinary approaches to urban biodiversity challenges.
