Gordon H. Reeves is a Research Fish Biologist in the PNW Research Station. His expertise is in the freshwater ecology of anadromous salmon and trout, conservation biology of those fish, and aquatic aspects of landscape ecology. He has studied the ecology of anadromous salmon and trout in the Pacific Northwest, northern California, Idaho, and Alaska and fish ecology in New Zealand and New York. He has published over 75 papers on the freshwater ecology of Pacific salmon and trout, effects of land management activities on the freshwater habitats of these fish, conservation plans, and dynamics of aquatic ecosystems in the PNW. He led committees that developed and evaluated options for managing federal lands in the PNW and Alaska. He served as the Team Leader of the Aquatic and Land Interaction Program at the PNW Station in Corvallis from 1995 – 2012. He was co-leader of the Coastal Landscape Analysis and Modeling Study, a long-term, large, interdisciplinary project to model and evaluate forest policy effects at multiple scales. He was also member of the NOAA Fisheries Technical Recovery Team for ESA listed Coho salmon in coastal Oregon and the panel that reviewed the EPA report on the Pebble Mine in Alaska.
