Phil began working at the Flathead Lake Biological Station in July, 2001. His work involves GIS and Remote Sensing for Dr. Mark Lorang and others on several projects, primarily the Biocomplexity Project on the Nyack Floodplain, Montana, the Snake River Project on the Middle Fork of the Snake River, Idaho, and the Reaches Project on the Yakima River. The underlying focus of his work involves modeling various components of streams at differing discharge rates, such as velocity, depth, and stream power, as they relate to geomorphic work.
