History of the Sacrament-San Joaquin Delta with a focus on historic stressors and restoration methods

Lynette will discuss site history of the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta with a focus on historic stressors and restoration methods. She will then discuss her ongoing research regarding wetland restoration and conversion in the Sac-SJ Delta and Suisun Marsh with an emphasis on food web processes and waterbird responses to landscape change.

Lynette is a 2nd year PhD student at UC Davis studying Ecology. She works on how waterbird and waterbird habitat may change with landscape-level wetland change in the Suisun Marsh. She is also passionate about food web ecology and fisheries science and seeks to integrate bird management with fisheries management.
