Rebecca L. Schneider Ph.D - Cornell University - 1994 M.Sc - University of Virginia - 1984 B.S. - Loyolla College - 1977 Rebecca Schneider joined the Department of Natural Resources in 1996. She has an integrated research, extension, and teaching program that focuses on the eco-hydrologic basis for sustainable water resource management. Research Her current research includes (i) roadside ditch impacts on stream health and stream networks in central New York watersheds; (ii) groundwater discharge processes along lake shorelines; (iii) evapo-transpiration and groundwater linkages in wetlands; and (iv) plant influences on streambank erosion. Teaching NR324 (Ecological Management of Water Resources) Extension Her extension program complements her research efforts and addresses: (i) roadside ditch and stormwater management across New York state; (ii) aquatic weed management on lake and pondshores, and (iii) streamside protection.
