David Locky

I feel very fortunate to have a college diploma and university degrees; these have allowed me to work in environmental consulting and together shaped me as an instructor and researcher. While I am equally at home conducting research in the field and in the laboratory, I am quite passionate in transferring this experience to my teaching. I believe that it is important that students have the most up-to-date information possible. The courses I teach and my research interests intersect very neatly such that each informs the other. My goal is pass on as much of my passion and enthusiasm for ecology to my students; perhaps some will be inspired enough to pursue ecology as a career or, in the least, as a serious personal interest. I currently teach Freshwater Ecology (Biol 310), Biological Statistics and Research Design (Biol 337), Principles of Ecology (Biol 208), labs for Organisms and Their Environment (Biol 108), Contemporary Issues in Freshwater Ecology (Biol 495), and have co-taught Field Methods in Ecology (Biol 410). While I focus primarily on a broad sweep of wetland research, I routinely work outside of this realm including in fisheries research, lake and river ecology, plant ecology, wildlife ecology, terrestrial ecology, environmental impacts (e.g., microplastics) and environmental policy and practice. As I am interested in biological statistics, I often work with other researchers in designing and carrying out research. If you have an idea for a project, please do not hesitate to bring it to me for discussion. | Wetland ecology, peat land ecology, aquatic ecology, plankton, rivers, lakes, bird ecology, amphibian ecology, invertebrate ecology, landscape classification, uplands, prairie ecosystems, rare plant ecology, surface water biogeochemistry, fisheries, wetland policy, plant identification, bryophyte identification, anthropogenic impacts to the environment, microplastics in aquatic ecosystems, terrestrial ecology
