Mandi Gordon is the senior biologist for the Environmental Institute of Houston (EIH) at University of Houston-Clear Lake. Currently, Mandi is also a Ph.D. student in Ecology and Conservation Biology through Texas A&M University. She obtained her M.S. in biology from Georgia Southern University and her B.S. in marine biology from Texas A&M University at Galveston. Her research primarily focuses on the use of aquatic turtles as model species for evaluating a range of conservation-based questions including those related to populations, reproduction, movements, distribution, and eco-toxin bioaccumulation. Additionally, Mandi manages EIH’s state-wide monitoring projects, including the EPA’s National Aquatic Resource Surveys (NRSA, NLA, NCCA, and NWCA). Mandi has been involved with EIH’s long-term monitoring project on Texas diamond-backed terrapin since 2011, serves as PI, co-PI, or lead-PI on many of EIH’s research projects, and works closely with external agencies on projects throughout Texas.
