Dr. Ken Krieger is a senior research scientist with the Water Quality Laboratory at Heidelberg College. He teaches classes in limnology and water pollution biology and chaired the interdepartmental Water Resources Program (water resources major) from 1998 through 2004.

Dr. Krieger received his B.S., M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in biology from Emory University and taught there and at Queens College in Charlotte, NC, before coming to Heidelberg. His research includes the changing community ecology of invertebrates in Lake Erie, its coastal wetlands and tributaries; and pollutant processing by coastal wetlands. Current research on factors limiting the distribution and abundance of burrowing mayflies in Lake Erie and on the impact of dam removal on invertebrate communities takes him and his student assistants to many locations on Lake Erie and the Sandusky River.
Dr. Krieger has served on the editorial boards of the Ohio Journal of Science and the Journal of Great Lakes Research and has published in and reviewed manuscripts for a variety of peer-reviewed journals. He served on the advisory council of the Old Woman Creek National Estuarine Research Reserve for nineteen years. Currently he is a member of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the Great Lakes Aquatic Ecosystem Research Consortium, the International Association for Great Lakes Research, the International Society of Theoretical and Applied Limnology, the North American Benthological Society, and the Society of Wetland Scientists.
