During Fall Semester I teach Ecology Laboratory (2802). During Spring Semester I teach Plant Taxonomy (3603) and Ecological Invasions (4805). My other duties include academic advising of undergraduate Biology majors, supervision of the Olga Lakela Herbarium, and serving as President-Elect of the UMD Faculty union. My research centers on a wide variety of plant ecology investigations in the region, many of which are driven by specific interests of my graduate students, as well as ongoing attempts to more completely document the vascular flora of the region by looking for novelties. My outreach consists mostly of assisting the community with plant identification, but sometimes extends to other topics. Research
AUTECOLOGY AND POPULATION ECOLOGY OF VASCULAR PLANTS; VEGETATION AND FLORA OF THE LAKE SUPERIOR REGION
