Biography

Jane Rogosch received her PhD from the University of Washington and was a post-doctoral fellow at the University of Missouri. She joined the Texas Unit in 2020.

Research Interest

Jane's research is centered around the ecology and conservation of freshwater fishes with emphasis on the influence of altered flow conditions, invasive species, and other aspects of environmental change.
