Clay Pierce
Dr. Pierce’s research interests encompass aquatic ecology, fisheries science and fisheries management. Most of his research is applied and addresses information needs of state and federal natural resource agencies.
David Otis
Dr. Otis specializes in population biology of wildlife populations, development and evaluation of quantitative techniques useful in ecological field studies, and modeling of effects of anthropogenic processes on wildlife population dynamics.
Douglas D. Stokke
My research interests include physical and chemical properties of wood and natural fibers, biomass and biorenewable materials development, and sustainable materials science and technology.
Heidi Asbjornsen
My research interests include forest ecosystem ecology, restoration ecology, ecosystem management, and focusing on the role of anthropogenic and natural disturbance (especially fire) in both temperate and tropical ecosystems.
Jan Thompson
My research focuses on the ecology of urban ecosystems. I often use participatory research methodologies with local collaborators to assess social values for and ecological functioning of remnant or restored natural systems, both terrestrial and aquatic, embedded in urban landscapes.
Jesse Randall
My research interests include plant-ungulate interactions, native and exotic forest invasive plants, preservation of rare flora and fauna, and identifying new silvicultural techniques.
John C. Tyndall
My interests are in environmental and natural resource economics, policy and sociology within forestry and agriculture.
Joseph E. Morris
Dr. Morris’s research focus on two general fisheries topics, aquaculture and pond management. The aquaculture research focuses on the fish species appropriate for the Midwest. Fisheries research focuses on fisheries management, aquatic vegetation management, water quality issues as well as general aquatic ecology questions.
Julie Blanchong
I am a wildlife ecologist primarily interested in the causes and consequences of disease in wildlife populations.
Kevin Roe
My research interests include conservation genetics, systematics, and evolution of freshwater organisms. To date this research has included fishes, molluscs, and crustaceans.
Lisa Schulte-Moore
The focus of my research is on coupled human and natural systems; specifically, ecological and social facets of sustainable land management.
Lita Rule
Dr. Rule’s research interests are in the areas of agroforestry, short rotation woody crops and industrial forestry, focusing on socio-economics and policy.
Mary Harris
Dr. Harris' research interests involve plant-insect interactions as well as tritrophic interactions of plant-herbivore-natural enemy.
Mike Quist
My research focuses on the ecology and management of fishes. I am particularly interested in linking basic ecological concepts with the management of aquatic systems.
Monlin Kuo
My research interests are in the area of wood adhesion and adhesives. Iam currently conducting research on the use of starches and soy proteins for wood composite products.
Richard C. Schultz
My research emphasis focuses on the design and function of riparian management systems that reduce the movement and remediate the impact of non-point source pollutants from croplands and pastures to adjacent streams.
Rick Hall
I specialize in the genetics and culture of short rotation woody biomass species, especially aspens, cottonwoods, and alder. I have broad interests in genecology of all plant and animal species and welcome the opportunity to serve on graduate committees along these lines.Video
Rolf Koford
Rolf Koford specializes in birds that nest in grasslands, including songbirds and dabbling ducks.
Stephen Dinsmore
My broad research interests are avian ecology and population ecology. Some of my primary research interests include measures of survival and reproductive success in birds, modeling population persistence, population estimation, and conservation biology.
Steven E. Jungst
Dr. Jungst has been a member of the Forestry Faculty since 1974. He is also a Fellow of the Society of American Foresters and serves as Chair of the NREM Student Learning Outcomes Committee.
Thomas Isenhart
My research interests include watershed management, design of conservation buffers to improve environmental efficiency of agriculture, and land use and greenhouse gas emissions.
Timothy W. Stewart
I’m an aquatic community ecologist with a research focus on using aquatic invertebrate assemblage characteristics to assess ecological condition of ecosystems.
