ET-AL PhD Student(s):
Alan Kasprak - PhD- Started Fall 2010
Alan joins us from Dartmouth College, where he just completed his Masters in Earth Sciences with Frank Magilligan. His research focused on the interaction between
anthropogenic land use and stream morphology. Alan will be continuing work on linkages between geomorphology and physical habitat for fish and working on development of coupled morphodynamic and ecohydraulic models.
ET-AL Masters Students:
Sara
Bangen - MS. - Started Fall 2010
Sara joins us from Watershed Solutions out of Boise where
she has been working on salmonid habitat surveys. Sara has been living
in Arcata, CA in recent years and holds a BS in Environmental Studies
from University of Oregon. Sara's research will be on a habitat protocol inter-comparison for ISEMP
with a case study in the Lemhi Watershed of the Salmon Basin in Idaho.
She just finished leading a major two month field campaign in the Lemhi
and has successfully completed most of her field work before even
officially starting.
Florence Consolati - MS. - Started Fall 2011
Florie joins us from the California Department of Fish and
Game in Fortuna where she has been working as the lead fisheries biologist for
the Fisheries Restoration Grant Program’s Coastal Restoration Monitoring and Evaluation Program. Florie
earned her BS in Ecology with a Minor in Fisheries Biology from Humboldt State University
in 2006. Since then, she worked as a Fisheries Biological Technician for the USGS
Co-operative Fisheries Research Unit of Humboldt State University, and then for
the AmeriCorps Watershed Stewards Project.
Florie's research will be on linking fish response to beaver activity
and habitat response for a restoration project under ISEMP focused in the Intensively Monitored Watershed of
Bridge Creek, in the John Day Basin of Central Oregon. The restoration project
has partnered with beaver to restore an incised stream and improve habitat for
steelhead.
Ryan Lokteff - MS. - Started Fall 2010 
Ryan joins us from the USFS Rocky Mountain Research Station
where he works as a GIS Technician. Ryan's background is actually in
music and he used to teach K-12 Music in Redding, CA. He holds a BA
degree from the University of Idaho,
but has spent the last few years retooling in GIS and CAD skills and
the past year at Utah State getting Calculus, Physics and Programming
coursework under his belt. Ryan has started his research
looking at habitat relationships for Bonneville Cuththroat Trout and
the influence of beaver ecogeomorphic dynamics in Spawn Creek and Temple
Fork. His field work involves exploiting high resolution scan data from
ground-based LiDaR and extremely high temporal resolution spawning
surveys and fish movement and migration data over the past five years.
Sonya Welsh - MS- Started Fall 2009Sonya joined the lab in 2009 after completing a BS in Botany with a minor in Geology from Weber State University. She brings extensive field experience with her and is working on a project in Bridge Creek, OR using beaver as a restoration agent to reconnect incised streams to their floodplains and improve steelhead habitat.
