Professional Focus
Dr. Gelderloos investigates the ecological communities at the different elevations of the floodplain forests of the Rouge River at and near the University of Michigan-Dearborn. Of particular interest is the change in future of the species composition due to the death of the three species of ash trees and invertebrates populations, such as earthworms in herbaceous and non-herbaceous areas. Dr. Gelderloos teaches Field Biology outdoors in the Environmental Study Area, Ornithology, Concepts of Environmentalism, Environmental Instrumentation and Analysis, Watershed Analysis, Environmental Internships, and Seminar on Environmental Topics.
