Stephanie Carlson focuses on freshwater fish ecology, evolutionary ecology, and conservation of freshwaters. The research aims to illustrate how evolution and ecology interact to shape wild populations and influence their persistence, particularly those exposed to anthropogenic (human) influences.

Her projects include:
1) Evolution (and loss) of biodiversity among salmon populations
2) Ecological and evolutionary impacts of management (water, fishery, hatchery, protected area)
3) Impacts of drought and climate change on streams
