Dr. Gary Lamberti
I am interested in all aspects of stream, river, and wetland ecosystems on a changing planet.

Dr. Lamberti is the Rev. Julius A. Nieuwland, CSC, Professor of Aquatic Science in the Department of Biological Sciences.  He guides the Stream and Wetland Ecology Laboratory in conducting vital research on aquatic ecosystems of the Great Lakes region and also in Alaska.

Teaching Professor  
Chaloner Web
Dr. Dominic Chaloner

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.
