     the use of advanced technologies evaluating the impact of land use on aquatic
     ecosystems, fish habitat, and fish movement; modeling and quantitative methods
     in fisheries; fish population dynamics; and applied statistics.  Prior to starting
     his USGS career in 2009 with the Great Lakes Science Center (GLSC), he served
     in several leadership positions with the Michigan Department of Natural Resources
     Fisheries Division for 11-years.  In 2009 Kurt assumed the role of GLSC Deepwater
