自然资源 & 生态学研究生简介
格里芬·阿坎博,2027届毕业生
- 顾问: Dr. 盖Mihuc
“At a broad ecological scale, the two subjects that interest me the most are population dynamics — how 和 why wildlife populations change over time — 和 habitat selection — why species occupy the areas that they do. Narrowly, I am deeply fascinated by common loon site fidelity — returning to the same breeding territory year after year. 我的工作 as the re搜索 biologist at the Adirondack Center for Loon Conservation 和 came to 普拉茨堡 with the goal of developing into a more well-rounded wildlife biologist. When not studying, my other passions include fitness, hiking, camping, snowboarding, kayaking 和 everything else that comes with the outdoors.”
马歇尔·安文,2024届毕业生
- 顾问: Dr. 盖Mihuc
“在纽约州立大学普拉茨堡分校工作 尚普兰湖研究所, I am investigating the vertical distribution of zooplankton 和 other lower trophic 尚普兰湖的生物. Observed shifts in zooplankton abundance 和 biodiversity have occurred in the lake over the past few decades. 气候变化与入侵物种 introductions have altered food availability, water temperature, 和 predation risks 与尚普兰湖生物群有关. These factors can influence the vertical distribution of lower trophic organisms, affecting the structure of the lake food web.”
Meghan Bargabos, 2024届毕业生
- 顾问: Dr. 马克较小 和 Dr. 丹尼尔•加纳
“At 普拉茨堡, I’m able to take advantage of the outdoors as my classroom, 和 immerse myself in the fascinating 环境s nearby. My re搜索 primarily focuses on wildlife 和 forest ecology, looking at how wildlife respond to differences in forest structure 和 disturbance history at the Altona Flat Rock, an incredibly unique jack pine barrens 生态系统. I also teach a section of general ecology lab through a teaching assistantship, which has been a great experience that I feel I’ve gained a lot from. 当我不在的时候 in the field or in the classroom, I love to hike, ski, fish, 和 point out cool things 我看到外面.”
