Faculty/Staff Detail

Pete Ducey, Biological Sciences Department, recently gave an invited presentation at Cornell University titled “Superfund Herpetology: Decades of Change at Onondaga Lake” hosted by the Cornell Herpetological Society. The presentation discussed the research and consulting work of Ducey, his students and faculty colleagues concerning the amphibian and reptile populations living in the highly disturbed ecosystem of Onondaga Lake and its surrounding wetlands. Also highlighted were the rolls of Cortland’s research team in assisting the federal and state governmental agencies, as well as environmental consulting firms, with their efforts at restoration at that site.
