Theodore Kennedy, Ph.D.
I use food webs to describe ecosystem response to river regulation and biological invasions. I have been with USGS since 2004, providing science in support of the Glen Canyon Dam Adaptive Management Program.
Professional Experience:
11/04 - present. Research Ecologist, Grand Canyon Monitoring and Research Center, Southwest Biological Science Center, US Geological Survey, Flagstaff, AZ
1/04 - 11/04. Postdoctoral researcher, Arizona State University
1/03 - 1/04. Postdoctoral researcher, Grand Canyon Monitoring and Research Center, Southwest Biological Science Center, US Geological Survey, Flagstaff, AZ.
Education:
9/96 - 12/02. Ph.D. in Ecology, Dept. of Ecology, Evolution, and Behavior, University of Minnesota. Dissertation title: The causes and consequences of plant invasions
1/90 - 12/94. B.S. in Ecology, California Polytechnic State University at San Luis Obispo, cum laude.
