Great Lakes Environmental Indicators Project
This is part of a collaborative effort studying the effects of large-scale human disturbances on the biota of the Great Lakes. The Great Lakes Environmental Indicators study is looking at the plants, fish, invertebrates and water quality of the lakes to establish current baseline conditions and to identify useful bioindicator species. Other collaborators surveyed other organisms as well. We were responsible for leading and managing field work crews and overseeing GLEI database management at the University of Windsor. Currently we are conducting spatial analyses of potential indicator species.

Algonquin Park with the Fahrig Lab
We worked with several people in the lab to study the effects of an intense ice storm on the vegetation and wood-boring beetles in the area. Once or twice a year the lab would head to Algonquin Park for some paddle-in wilderness camping.
