Geoffrey C. Poole

Image is UnavailableAssistant Professor (starting September 2008); Ph.D. 2000, The University of Montana, College of Forestry; M.S. 1989, Utah State University, College of Natural Resources; B.S. 1987, Cornell University, College of Agriculture and Life Sciences.  Research integrates river ecology, fluvial geomorphology, and landscape ecology to understand interactions between ecosystem structure and processes across hierarchical scales in fluvial landscapes.  Special interests include the ecology of the hyporheic zone, influence of floodplain geomorphology or in-stream habitat structures on hydrologic flow pathways, interactions between upland land use and                                         in-stream habitat quality, and linkages between riverine habitat                                         diversity and biological diversity.
