Michael Newbrey

Dr. Michael Newbrey is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Biology at Columbus State University. His research focuses on Ichthyology, fish ecology, taxonomy, and evolutionary biology, with a particular emphasis on climate change impacts on fish age and growth, dispersal, and habitat. He has contributed to the discovery and description of new fish species, integrating ecological insights into taxonomic work.

• Education:
• Ph.D., Zoology, North Dakota State University, 2007
• M.S., Natural Resources (Fisheries Emphasis), University of Wisconsin - Stevens Point, 2002
• B.S., Biology (Fisheries and Limnology Emphases), University of Wisconsin - Stevens Point, 1998

Dr. Newbrey’s research spans traditional Ichthyology and applied ecological studies, including climate change effects on fish populations and habitat dynamics. His work often bridges taxonomic description with broader ecological questions. He has no listed awards or grants, though his CV highlights active publishing in fisheries and ecological journals. His office is located in Jordan Hall 306.
