Kristi Judd, P.I.I have been teaching and doing research at EMU since 2007. Prior to that I was a Post Doctoral Associate at the the Cary Institute. I teach Ecology, Wetland Ecosystems, Limnology, Ecosystem Ecology, Proposal Development, and Writing an Honors Thesis.

Current lab members
Kai Garcia Undergraduate research student
Kai is examining the role of small dams in influencing oxygen fluctuations and aquatic metabolism. You can see some of Kai's work here.

Morgan Chaudry M.S. research studentMorgan's undergraduate and M.S. research examined non-point sources of microplastics to the the Huron River and how microplastics and pharmaceuticals interact to affect aquatic organisms. You can see some of Morgan's findings here.
|
Sadie Baker M.S. research studentSadies's M.S. research examines the importance of urbanization (non-point) and wastewater treatment plant discharge (point) sources of microplastics to the Huron river. Listen to some of Sadie's findings here.

Rob Sulewski Volunteer researcherRob is an environmental researcher specializing in environmental chemistry and benthic taxonomy. He teaches biochemistry and technical communication at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. You can view some of Rob's work here.

Past lab members
Jacob Fagerstrom Undergraduate research studentJake's research found that methane emission are much higher in impoundments than in the free flowing sections of the Huron River, and particularly in the zones where water lilies grow. You can learn more about Jake's work here.

Min Kandies M.S. research studentMin's research examined potential trade-offs in ecosystem services associated with wetland invasive plant species management. Her findings indicate that herbicide management improves floristic quality but reduces nutrient uptake. You can read more about her research here.
|
Elizabeth Stover M.S. research studentEllie's M.S. thesis research found that low doses of pharmaceuticals altered stream biofilm structure and some aspects of stream function. You can read more about her work here.

Caleb Willette Undergraduate research studentCaleb examined how road-salt pollution affects microbial processes, such as decomposition, in streams. His experiments suggest that lower rates of decomposition in urban streams may be due in part to shifts from fungal to bacterial decomposers at higher concentrations of salt.
