Susan Cushman is an aquatic ecologist who primarily studies stream communities. Her current research projects cover a diverse set of topics including fish health (mercury bioaccumulations, environmental estrogen, and parasites), population dynamics related to habitat restoration, and stream community composition in the Finger Lakes region. Her expertise also include surveying benthic macroinvertebrates to assess water quality. She has been working recently to learn more about the Round Goby, an invasive fish that has colonized some lakes and waterways in central NY.
