A big congratulations to Leslie Rieck, who successfully defended her dissertation: “Associations Between Hydrogeomorphic Characteristics and Biotic Community Dynamics in Urban Streams of Columbus, Ohio, USA” earlier today (June 27, 2019). Leslie’s research addresses urbanization of watersheds and how altered fluvial geomorphic processes and channel structure relate to macroinvertebrate drift, fish assemblages and stream-riparian food webs. Leslie will start a post-doc at Lycoming College in PA later this summer.
