Joshua is a PhD student at University of Florida pursuing Zoology. He holds a MSc degree in Limnology and Wetland Management from BOKU University and IHE-Delft and a BSc degree in Environmental Science from Karatina University, Kenya. His current research work focuses on assessing how Anthropogenic Activities and Land Use Change Influence Aquatic Biodiversity and Trace Element Distribution in the Mara River Basin.
Research Interests: Macroinvertebrate taxonomy and ecology, fish ecology, community ecology, trace element pollution, and aquatic food web ecology |
Audrey Goeckner, PhD
|
Audrey joined the Subalusky Lab as a postdoc in August 2025. She is a freshwater ecologist with expertise in ecosystem ecology, nutrient and carbon biogeochemistry, and microbial ecology. She earned her PhD in Soil, Water, and Ecosystem Sciences from the University of Florida in 2024, where her research focused on stormwater ponds and their effects on receiving streams. Overall, Audrey’s work examines how ecosystems respond to hydrologic stress, urbanization, and ecosystem management or modification (e.g., stormwater infrastructure, groundwater withdrawals, dams), with emphasis on dynamic interfaces such as freshwater confluences, terrestrial-aquatic transitions, and sites of stormwater or wastewater discharge. In the Subalusky lab, Audrey applies these concepts to isolated wetlands in north central Florida and dams and streams in South Africa.
