TCU Aquatic Ecology Lab

The Aquatic Ecology Research Lab at TCU explores a variety of questions related to community, ecosystem, and contaminant ecology.  Our recent work explores the movement of contaminants, with special focus on mercury, between ecosystems. We conduct experiments using mesocosms and hatchery ponds and lead field studies across the state of Texas and beyond, including in the High Arctic of Greenland. We work with a wide variety of organisms including aquatic insects, fish, spiders, birds, and bats. Most importantly we are committed to involving students in the lab's research.
