Four Idaho State University faculty have received 2007 Outstanding Researcher Awards. One will receive the 2007 ISU Distinguished Researcher Award at Commencement May 12.
The 2007 Outstanding Researchers are David G. Adler, Ph.D., political science; Nancy Huntly, Ph.D., ecology and biology; Paul K. Link, Ph.D., geosciences; and Susan Swetnam, Ph.D., English.
"Idaho State University is extremely fortunate to have faculty on staff with such dedication to educating our students and conducting world-class research," said ISU Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs Robert A. Wharton, Ph.D.
Adler is a professor in the department of political science. His doctorate in political science is from the University of Utah. Adler's research studies presidential constitutional power and its role in formulating foreign policy. He believes that recent presidents of both parties have usurped congressional power in this area.
A prodigious writer, Adler has authored four books and some 100 articles and book chapters, plus he has other works in the pipeline. His article, "Presidential Warmaking," has received numerous citations in leading law journals. His research has intense current relevance and is cited by decision-makers, other academics and U.S. and foreign news media.
Huntly is a professor of ecology and biology. Her doctorate in ecology and evolutionary biology is from the University of Arizona. Her research encompasses the areas of ecological dynamics and biodiversity. One external researcher says she is "universally viewed as a prime leader in this field."
Her most recent research includes a collaborative effort with ISU anthropologists Herbert Maschner, Ph.D., and Katherine Reedy-Maschner, Ph.D., to study the ecology of the Aleutian region of Alaska over the past several millennia. Her research has been amply funded - as principal or co-investigator, she has attracted more than $4 million in grants to ISU.
Link is a professor of geosciences. His doctorate is from the University of California, Santa Barbara. His research involves several areas of geology, including sedimentary geology, geochronology, and geologic mapping.
