Principal Investigator
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
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.
Assistant Research Professor
Dr. Daniele De Almeida Miranda Assistant Research Professor Interested in the biomagnification of PFAS in the Great Lakes.
Graduate Students
Amaryllis Adey Ph.D. Student Studying the ecology of coastal wetlands in Alaska and the Great Lakes.	Elise Snyder Ph.D. Candidate Studying the transport and fate of environmental DNA in flowing water
Alison Zachritz Ph.D. Student Studying the emerging contaminant PFAS (per- and poly fluoroalkyl substances) in the Great Lakes food web.
Staff
Sarah Klepinger Laboratory Manager Supports undergraduate and graduate researchers by processing samples, performing chemical and data analyses, coordinating with research partners, training newcomers, performing day-to-day laboratory maintenance, and leading the summer survey crew.	Yolonda Wiens Administrative Assistant Supports researchers by placing orders for lab and field supplies. Manages grant funding and the lab website.
