Lindsay E Hansen
Lindsay E Hansen is a fish biologist with the USGS Southwest Biological Science Center's Grand Canyon Monitoring and Research Center in Flagstaff, AZ. Her research examines the environmental drivers of fish populations in the Colorado River Basin.
Lindsay’s research interests span aquatic ecology and science communication. Her research examines drivers of fish growth and focuses on how water storage and reservoir operations impact native fish populations in the Colorado River Basin. She leads large field crews on fisheries monitoring expeditions through the Colorado River in the Grand Canyon.
