McKenzie K. H. Smith

I am a broadly trained ecologist with experience using traditional survey methods, molecular techniques, and advanced technologies to describe wetland communities and inform strategies for their effective management. At the Great Lakes Science Center, I contribute to projects developing management tools for undesirable plant species and enhancing wetland restoration. In addition to data collection, I employ statistical methods to document, analyze, and interpret information about these systems. I also assist in preparing and disseminating the resulting data and reports to our organizational partners and the public.
