Jenni Soohy
M.S. student
Jenni’s research is focused on discovering the optimal growth conditions of cyanobacterial mats in Fishing Creek near Bloomsburg. She especially enjoys using a pulse-amplitude-modulation (PAM) fluorometer to measure photosynthetic capacity and efficiency. She also monitors stream quality and function before and after stream restoration projects for the Chesapeake Conservancy as a part of their Precision Conservation program
