Rate My Professor Kyle Herrman

Kyle Herrman is Professor and Coordinator for the Fisheries and Water Resources Discipline in the College of Natural Resources at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point, where he has served since 2010. In 2010, he also held a Lecturer position in the School of Natural Resources at the University of Nebraska. Herrman earned his Ph.D. in Environment and Natural Resources from The Ohio State University, M.S. in Environmental Science from Indiana University, and B.S. in Natural Resources and Environmental Science from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. As a Natural Resources faculty member, he oversees programs in fisheries and aquatic sciences, hydrology, and water resources, providing students with opportunities to engage in hands-on research through the Wisconsin Cooperative Fishery Research Unit and other centers.

Herrman's academic interests center on stream and wetland restoration, nutrient cycling, and invasive species. His research has contributed to understanding hydrologic processes, nitrogen dynamics, and invasive plant management in wetlands and agricultural streams. Key publications include Herrman, K.S., D.T. Scott, J.D. Lenters, and E. Istanbulluoglu (2012), 'Nutrient loss following Phragmites australis removal in controlled soil mesocosms,' Journal of Water, Air, and Soil Pollution; Lenters, J.D., et al. (2011), 'Seasonal energy and water balance of a Phragmites australis-dominated wetland,' Journal of Hydrology; Herrman, K.S., et al. (2010), 'Hydrologic characteristics in headwater streams: a comparison of forested and agricultural streams,' Hydrological Processes; and multiple 2008 papers on nitrogen removal, denitrification factors in agricultural headwaters, and denitrification techniques in constructed wetlands, published in Limnology and Oceanography, Hydrobiologia, and Applied Geochemistry. Herrman has been honored with the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point Excellence in Teaching Award for integrating applied research into courses, such as wetland management and restoration planning projects, and the College of Natural Resources Professional Service Award.
