Now a Ph.D. student at the University of Montana's Flathead Lake Biological Station, Rachel completed her M.S. in spring 2008, working with Dr. Colden Baxter. Her Master’s research focused on the effects of wildfire on linked stream-riparian food webs in the Big Creek watershed, located in the Frank Church Wilderness of central Idaho. Her work was supported by the DeVlieg Foundation, the Taylor Ranch Wilderness Field Station, and ISU. Follow the link above to visit her individual web page.
