Post-Industrial Ecology – No Historic Reference Required

For over thirty-five years Dr. Gallagher has explored the connection between people and landscape through both management and academic research. His current research, as part of the Urban Forestry Laboratory, focuses on the sublethal impact of soil metal contamination at both the species and assemblage level. Over the past several years the lab has examined metal translocation pathways and its impact on species distribution, productivity, reproductive success and guild trajectories. Dr. Gallagher has published extensively in both scientific journals and venues of general interests on topics ranging from phytostabilization of contaminated soils to the ethics of ecosystem function monetization. He has presented hundreds of lectures at conferences and meetings both nationally and internationally. Topics have generally included current natural resource based environmental issues, demographic transition and most recently brownfield redevelopment. In 2001 he was invited by Princess Abdulla of Jordan to lecture on forest development in Amman, Jordan. Read more here: http://gallaghergreen.com/
