tid@pdx.edu MS: Oregon Institute of Marine Biology, University of Oregon • Biology Tim is a recent graduate (MS) from the Oregon Institute of Marine Biology. His thesis research examined the invasion of the Australasian burrowing isopod (Sphaeroma quoianum) in Coos Bay, Oregon. He is currently pursuing a PhD. in Environmental Sciences and Resources. His primary research interests are biological invasions, crustacean biology, community ecology, and the conservation of aquatic systems. Throughout his graduate and undergraduate career he has worked on a variety of projects ranging from biofouling studies in Florida, aquatic ecology in the Midwest lake systems, the green crab invasion in Oregon, and bioinvasions in Victoria and Tasmania, Australia. Tim is continuing to investigate the invasion and ecology of Sphaeroma quoianum for his dissertation. He is currently evaluating the relationship between erosion rate and the presence of isopod burrows in Coos Bay and conducting regional surveys for introduced species. Future work will investigate the dispersal rate/distance, burrowing rates, and possible control options for Sphaeroma quoianum. |
