This program teaches students how to manage conflicts and emphasizes the importance of effectively communicating with the private and public sectors, regulatory agencies, interest groups, and communities.

Lead in Science at TROY
“I am studying the effects of invasive crayfish and dams on native crayfish assemblages. Specifically, I am interested in how the trophic dynamics and morphology of native crayfishes differ in stream reaches under these conditions using a combination of stable isotope analysis, gut content analysis and geometric morphometrics. ”
