Matt Mensinger is a CCCR Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology working with Eric Palkovacs. In collaboration with The Nature Conservancy, his research is focused on Jalama Creek where he hopes to understand physical and biological responses to stream restoration and assess the recovery potential for endangered Southern California steelhead within the watershed. Matt joins us from the University of Maine where his PhD research investigated predation on juvenile Atlantic salmon.
