Welcome to the Olden Lab, where we study the ecology, conservation, and management of freshwater ecosystems.

Main research themes include:

• Ecology and management of invasive species
• Environmental flows and the ecological impacts of river regulation by dams
• Conservation biogeography
• Fish life-history strategies responses to environmental change
• Conservation of desert fishes

News: It's field season ... look for us!

We are embarking on a new project that is modeling the potential spread of aquatic nuisance plants in Washington lakes. Check out the story in the Seattle Times (click here)

Research Opportunities: None at this time.
