Biography Limnology and Ecosystem Ecology
Biography The nervous system orchestrates an incredible array of actions by coordinating movements across the body. Using coordination we make music, play sports, communicate, and move about the world. Even walking requires moving our legs, arms, trunks, and heads in conjunction, and we do it all without a conscious thought. At first glance, coordination seems …

Biography As a limnologist, I study how terrestrial and atmospheric changes, such as warming air temperatures or land use patterns, alter biogeochemical fluxes and aquatic processes in lakes. My research sites span from Wisconsin to Antarctica.

Biography Research in the Lee Laboratory focuses on evolutionary responses to catastrophic environmental change, including biological invasions, climate change, and pollution (e.g. oil spills). Our research integrates evolutionary genetics/genomics and physiology in an ecological context in order to gain core insights into mechanisms that enable expansions into novel niches. Much of the research centers on …
