About This Project

Towson University

Maryland’s Northern Map Turtles (Graptemys geographica) are endangered and face many challenges that could affect their survival. Metabolomics, the study of small molecules involved in biochemical processes, is a potential tool for studying health in wild populations because it can provide information about pollutant exposure, diet, disease, and metabolism. This project will result in management recommendations such as water quality monitoring, habitat restoration, and rehabilitation.
