Steve ThomasProfessorI'm stream ecologist with the School of Natural Resources at the University of Nebraska. I'm interested in understanding how the properties of one location impact the ecological properties of another. The flow of water links upstream and downstream habitats, and longitudinal connection is a fundamental, though often ignored, aspect of e ecology. My research combines ecology and hydrology to address nutrients in streams, microbiological activity, and organic matter production, transport and processing.
