Aquatic and Land Interactions Program

Corvallis Aquatic and Land Interactions Team

Research highlights:

- Understand the effects of land management activities and natural disturbances on aquatic ecosystems at the reach, the watershed, and the landscape scales.

- Develop monitoring plans and protocols for fish habitat and populations, amphibians, and mollusks.

- Determine the distribution and ecology of selected aquatic amphibians.

- Develop models to evaluate the effect of proposed land management activities and policies on aquatic ecosystems at various spatial scales.

Gordie Reeves is a research fish biologist and Team Leader with the Corvallis Aquatic and Land Interactions team. His research interests include the influence of large disturbance events on fish and their habitats, landscape ecology, and the development of conservation plan monitoring plans.

Deanna (Dede) Olson is a research ecologist with the Corvallis ALI team. She has studied the ecology of animals in every vertebrate class, and is currently focusing on amphibians associated with Pacific Northwest forests. Her research examines forest management practices and their effects on vertebrate populations.

Kelly Burnett is a research fish biologist with the ALI team in Corvallis, Oregon. Her research interests include characterizing land-use impacts on salmon and their freshwater habitats, understanding influences of natural disturbances on stream ecosystems, and modeling habitat potential for salmon at landscape scales. She directs aquatic research for the Coastal Landscape Analysis and Modeling Study (CLAMS).

Nobuya (Nobi) Suzuki is a post-doctoral research associate with Department of Zoology at Oregon State University. He is an OSU Cooperator (Quantitative Conservation Biologist) for the ALI team in Corvallis. He has been working on habitat suitability modeling and risk analysis for the conservation of Siskiyou Mountains salamanders in southwestern Oregon.
