Meet the Faculty - Karin Limburg
In this conversation, SUNY ESF professor Karin Limburg reflects on her journey into fisheries science, watershed ecology, and aquatic ecosystem research, tracing her path from Cornell and Stockholm University to a long-standing career shaping environmental education at ESF. What began as a search for data on Hudson River fish migration evolved into a career centered on fisheries science and management, interdisciplinary teaching, and research on the impacts of urbanization on aquatic ecosystems.
Throughout the video, she shares how ESF’s model blends hands-on practicum courses, environmental research, watershed science, and creative problem-solving, giving students the opportunity to tackle real-world environmental challenges — from dam removal scenarios to ecosystem restoration thinking. It’s a glimpse into how teaching, research, and passionate students come together in a uniquely focused environmental college —and why fisheries and watershed science remain critical fields in a changing world.
