Research: My Scientific Areas of Research And Study
Stream seminar for macroinvertebrates on the Conewago
I have a number of areas of research that I am working on at the present time and they include all of the following:
(Please Note: I do these on my own.  I have no funding. If you are interested in any of these areas and wish to contribute something please contact me).

    • EPA Water Quality Standards which are basically outdated and put the Public in harm's way.
    • Grey Water:  There is a massive input from Industry on the safety of such standards but the studies appear to have little scientific validity including biosolid sludge.
    • Trout movement and feeding ranges
    • Spring and stream temperature profiles related to climate change.
    • Trout vision and selection
    • EPA RBPs (Rapid Benthic Protocols).  Outdated and misunderstood?
    • Stream Insect Classification System
    • Insect Emergence Patterns
    • Stream Management

    • The Best And Most Cost Effective Methods to Restore Inland Waters
    • Trout Strains and species and their interrelationships in streams, lakes and rivers.
    • Economic Factors and flow patterns of income due to recreational fishing in America
    • Pollution from fracturing and related activities including water quality.
    • Pesticide engangement
    • Coal mining and externalization of damage to the public
    • Economic impacts of externalized damage to public in terms money, health and safety.
    • Environmental Microbiology:  Lessons Never Learned: Viruses and Vaccines
