Dr. Campbell enjoys learning while teaching subjects that relate to field biology and environmental science. His training and teaching focus is the study of freshwater lakes, streams, and wetlands, but he grew up in mountain forests of central Pennsylvania and has also investigated terrestrial habitats. Dr. Campbell helped develop environmental science and sustainability-centered courses and projects at Mercyhurst, and mentors students whose research is focused on algae, invertebrates, fish, and wildlife, especially birds. He enjoys gardening, birdwatching, woodworking and writing poetry in his spare time.
