Principal Investigator | |
Dr. Gary Lamberti I am interested in all aspects of stream, river, and wetland ecosystems on a changing planet. |
I am currently (2020-2021) on deployment as a Program Director with the National Science Foundation, where I oversee grant programs in the Division of Environmental Biology. The Stream and Wetland Ecology Laboratory continues to conduct vital research on aquatic ecosystems of the Great Lakes region and also in Alaska. |
Associate Teaching Professor | |
![]() I am interested in migratory fish and their ecological effect on streams and rivers, and also how to effectively teach and train science students. |
I currently teach several required courses for Environmental Sciences majors while also being the academic advisor for the major. I'm also involved in promoting strategies for addressing science virtues in education and training, including through art-science collaborations.
