Dr. Morley’s research interests include the ecology and conservation of small ecosystems. In the past, he has focused on how small streams and wetlands contribute to local and regional biodiversity, surface water hydrology, and nutrient cycling. During his postdoctoral studies, he investigated ecological parameters that may be involved with adaptive speciation within a fire salamander population in an old growth forest near Bonn, Germany. At Marymount, Dr. Morley will research green roof systems by addressing their suitability to provide habitat for native species, and their ability to buffer stormwater runoff and the urban heat island effect. Dr. Morley joined the Marymount Manhattan Community in 2011 and is currently teaching general biology, environmental science and ecology courses.
