This project will explore the resiliency of Low Impact Development (LID) stormwater bioretention systems in the context of mitigating existing and projected future urban runoff stressors that impact Lake Champlain.
February 1, 2010 - January 31, 2012
An estimated 40% of the 48 exotic species in Lake Champlain whose invasion route is known arriaved via a canal. The goal of this project is to determine the taxon-specific risk posed by the Champlain Canal for transmitting new exotic species into Lake Champlain.

With alewife now established in Lake Champlain, an epilimnetic larval fish predator has been added to the system that can change the seasonal dynamics of young-of-year rainbow smelt by increasing mortality during the summer.
February 1, 2009 - January 31, 2012
The overall goal of this project is to decrease agricultural nonpoint source nutrient pollution to the Missisquoi Bay and St. Albans Bay watersheds.
February 1, 2008 - January 31, 2010
This program of research addressed the increasingly important issue of the sustainability of recreational boating on Lake Champlain, as well as other water bodies more broadly.
February 1, 2004 - January 31, 2006
Water chestnut (Trapa natans L.), an annual aquatic plant with floating leaves was first introduced into North America in 1874. This study examined the potential of ultrasound application as an alternative control strategy for water chestnut management.
February 1, 2003 - January 31, 2004
The effects of 3-trifluoromethyl-4-nitrophenol (TFM) lampricide on aquatic macroinvertebrates and periphyton were examined after treatment of a portion of the Boquet River, Essex County, New York, in the fall of 2003.
February 1, 2001 - January 31, 2004
We studied the movements, home ranges, and foraging behavior of cormorants by attaching radio transmitters to 102 birds during 3 field seasons, 2001-2003, and following foraging flocks, with radioed birds, as they flew circuits among nesting, foraging, and roosting sites.
