Rate My Professor Walter Dodds

Dodds has authored influential works, including the textbook Freshwater Ecology: Concepts and Environmental Applications of Limnology in multiple editions. Notable publications encompass "Eutrophication of US freshwaters: analysis of potential economic damages" (2009), "Control of nitrogen export from watersheds by headwater streams" (2001), "Stream denitrification across biomes and its response to anthropogenic nitrate loading" (2008), and "Nutrients, eutrophication and harmful algal blooms along the freshwater to marine continuum" (2019). He has produced over 160 peer-reviewed publications as of 2017. His research impacts freshwater science by informing nutrient management, eutrophication control, and ecosystem services valuation. Dodds has received major honors, including the 2017 Society for Freshwater Science Award of Excellence, inaugural fellowship of the Society for Freshwater Science, the 2025 Higuchi-KU Endowment Research Achievement Award, and the 2007 Outstanding Graduate Faculty Award from the Kansas State University Biology Graduate Student Association. He holds University Faculty Fellow status and contributes to committee roles and editorial boards.
