Rowland Fournier, C’27, and Philip Gould, C’16, Collaborate on Research Project
Undergraduate student Rowland Fournier, C’27, and alumnus Phillip Gould, C’16, recently collaborated on a research project with scientists at the Renewable Energy Wildlife Institute (REWI) and Appalachian State University. For the project, which focused on the distribution of freshwater turtles in agricultural and rural landscapes of the southeastern United States, the research team surveyed 64 sites in the Mississippi embayment and evaluated how surrounding land use, road density, and habitat type affected species' occupancy.
