Brian Tangen
Brian Tangen is an Ecologist with the USGS Northern Prairie Wildlife Research Center and works at the Lincoln, Nebraska duty station.
I began my professional career processing and identifying aquatic invertebrates and conducting a wide variety of field work for Northern Prairie's aquatics lab. I have worked in a variety of roles at Northern Prairie performing research focused on carbon and greenhouse gas cycling in wetland systems, wetland hydrology, wetland management, and effects of climate- and land-use change.
