Current Research
My research is focused on evaluating the habitat connectivity benefits of Denil fish ladders for Arctic Grayling on the Big Hole River. Specifically, I am using Passive Integrated Transponder (PIT) tags to monitor upstream passage of Arctic Grayling and other fish species, and looking at how physical and hydraulic conditions affect fish passage.
