   personal_statement: Dr. McLean has investigated fish, amphibian, and invertebrate
     community response to temporal changes in hydrology and water chemistry in prairie-pothole
     wetlands.  He continues to use long-term monitoring data from the Cottonwood
     Lake Study Area to identify how spatial and temporal variation of wetland habitats
     influence wetland biodiversity. Dr. McLean is also working on prairie-stream
     projects with the US Environmental Protection Agency investigating freshwater
     mussel distribution and ecology on the Pipestem Creek and monitoring streamflow
     permanence in the Upper James River watershed in central North Dakota.
