  • Revisiting the Musconetcong River after ten years (water quality and quantity trends analysis)
  • Freshwater phytoplankton assemblages in the New Jersey Delaware watershed (presence and abundance of phytoplankton and cyanobacteria taxa)
  • Assessing aquatic connectivity in New Jersey’s Delaware Watershed (identify road/stream crossing barriers that requires restoration to reconnect the habitats)
