His research examines how fish populations, aquatic communities, and socio-ecological systems respond to environmental change and management actions. Key areas include endangered fish conservation in the American southwest, commercial salmon management in Alaska, and the intersection of ecological modeling with decision-making under uncertainty. His lab employs quantitative modeling to project future dynamics and inform adaptive management strategies.
Recent publications highlight work on invasive species control, fisheries-induced nutrient cycle disruptions, and climate change impacts on aquatic ecosystems. His lab has contributed to understanding post-wildfire threats to Utah fisheries and Yellowstone Cutthroat Trout recovery dynamics.
