Dr. William J.
Pegg: Limnological and water quality assessment of aquatic
environments; characterization of pollution sources, i.e., acid mine
drainage, sewage, agricultural and industrial runoff.
Dr. David P.
Puthoff: My area of research focuses on plant interactions
with their pathogens with an especial focus on the interactions with
insect pests. In addition, studies on insect pest prevalence and abundance,
along with population genetic analysis will help provide the best strategies
for pest elimination. Click here to
