Dr. Livingston's interests include aquatic ecology, pollution biology, field and lab experimentation, and ecosystem-level research in freshwater, estuarine, and marine systems. His students have carried out research in behavioral and physiological ecology with individual aquatic populations and communities. A computer system has been developed to analyze the result ing long-term databases. The final analysis, modeling, and publication of the data are currently part of the ongoing activities of the Center for Aquatic Research and Resource Management, of which Dr. Livi ngston is the director.
