Amber Ulseth

Amber Ulseth’s research centers on ecosystem and community ecology in freshwater environments. Because freshwater is one of society’s most essential resources, she studies how human activities and invasive species disrupt natural processes within these systems. Her work focuses on understanding how streams, rivers, ponds, lakes, and wetlands transform, store, and export energy and nutrients, and how these ecosystems respond to disturbances - including the impacts of invasive species. Through this research, she aims to improve the ability to predict and mitigate threats to freshwater ecosystems.
