Alan is broadly interested in understanding the ecology of freshwater lakes, ponds, and reservoirs. Specifically, he studies the abiotic and biotic mechanisms mediating the promotion or control of freshwater harmful algal blooms and taste-and-odor events in aquaculture ponds, recreational reservoirs, and drinking water reservoirs. Alan also studies the threat that harmful algal blooms pose to livestock.
