Preface
The Hudson River estuary stretches from its tidal limit at the Federal Dam at Troy, New York, to its
merger with the New York Bight, south of New York City. Within that reach, the estuary displays a
broad transition from tidal freshwater to marine conditions that are reflected in its physical composition
and the biota it supports. These characteristics present a major opportunity and challenge for researchers
to describe the makeup and workings of a complex and dynamic ecosystem. The Tibor Polgar Fellowship
Program provides funds for graduate and undergraduate students to study selected aspects of the physical,
chemical, biological, and public policy realms of the estuary.
Since its inception in 1985, the program has provided approximately $1 million in funding to 189 students
and can boast the involvement of 116 advisors from 64 institutions.
The program is named in memory of Dr. Tibor T. Polgar, an estuarine biologist who was a key advisor to
the Hudson River Foundation for Science and Environmental Research when the fellowship program was
created. The program is conducted jointly by the Hudson River Foundation and the New York State
Department of Environmental Conservation. The fellowships are funded by the Foundation.

Introduction
The Tibor T. Polgar Fellowship Program is 25 years old this year, a “quatricentennial” coincidentally
aligning with the great Henry Hudson Quadricentennial. Reflection in 2009 on all things Hudson is
irresistible.
As a scientist working in the world of estuarine and aquatic biology for the entire period since the
“Polgars” were created, I have often encountered former fellows in a wide range of research and resource
management activities. But perhaps the reach of the program was most vividly illustrated recently when I
was attending a World Bank workshop on Caspian Sea sturgeon held in a small city in eastern Turkey.
As the meeting began, a youngish scientist from Moscow informed me cryptically, “We’ve met before.”
He did look familiar and I nodded and assumed we both had attended some international sturgeon
gathering. A day later he quizzed me as to where we had met. I failed badly: He was a 1994 Polgar
Fellow (from Rutgers) who had performed a fine genetics study on Hudson River killifish.
Killifish are one of the myriad subjects tackled by Polgar Fellows since 1984. A hallmark of the program
has been its diversity, an unusual simultaneous openness to undergraduates, Master’s, and doctoral
students, and topics that have run from basic geology and hydrochemistry through contaminants,
archaeology, autecology, food webs, fish communities, and public perceptions and policy concerning the
river. The consequence has been an annual production of work, contained in yearly monographs, yielding
an enormous amount of useful information. Some of the projects also have served as pilot studies for
larger Hudson River Foundation grants, and many have produced quality peer-reviewed journal articles
on their own.
Moreover, in addition to making a significant contribution to our knowledge of the Hudson estuary,
students have been trained in and well exposed to the realities—including the considerable pleasures—of
studying estuarine biology. Whether clomping through muck in the marshes, running samples through
equipment back in the lab, or both, these students have been privileged to take the measure of this
remarkable estuary and, likely, to some degree, themselves.
A quarter-century is a convenient marker for taking stock of a student program and celebrating its
achievements. Enough time has elapsed for early graduates to have journeyed halfway through their
professional careers, yet the beginning is still keenly recalled. The program sprang from the efforts of
Betsy Blair of the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation and Dr. Jon Cooper, then
the Science Officer of the Hudson River Foundation, to use federal funding associated with NOAA’s
National Estuarine Research Reserve System to launch student summer fellowships in 1985. Dr. Tibor T.
Polgar, a young but already influential and distinguished estuarine biologist, was advising the Hudson
River Foundation at that time, and when he died suddenly in 1986, it seemed fitting to name this new
program in his memory.
In 1986, I became co-director of the program with Ms. Blair (and later, Chuck Nieder). During the first
three years of the program, because of the particular federal funding source, all of the projects were
required to be undertaken within the four Research Reserve sites in the Hudson. When direct federal
underwriting ended in 1988, HRF began shouldering all the costs of the fellowships, with continuing and
very supportive in-kind co-direction by NYSDEC, and the program was opened to projects anywhere
within the Hudson estuary.
v
To scan the biographies included in this report is to come to know a cadre of competent and dedicated
scientists and managers. The list of 203 projects undertaken by the Fellows demonstrates the extent to
which the Polgar Program has advanced understanding of the Hudson ecosystem in crucial ways. The
roster of fellowship advisors is a veritable pantheon of estuarine scientists working on the Hudson
ecosystem. The extensive bibliography of Polgar participants’ continuing contributions to the scientific
literature illustrates the impact of talent emanating from the careers of men and women who share a
history of at least one student summer on and in the Hudson River.
Without presuming too much credit for their success, the Polgar Program has surely been for each of them
one of the stepping stones, those formative experiences that simultaneously inform and inspire and on
which any successful scientific career is built. With luck, 25 new cohorts of eager students will learn
about the river and then make a difference in the larger realm of environmental understanding by the time
of the Polgar semicentennial, a quarter-century from now.

various citizen science programs, like Cornell's Project Feeder Watch and The Amphibian Census, and to
write scientific papers on the students' own original research. Drew was interested to note that while
students at that time did not have science taught in the elementary school, about 10% of the those
graduates whom he had taught went on to study science. They loved the research! In 2005 Drew
completed an M.A. in School Leadership from Castleton State College in Vermont, and currently serves
as principal of Webutuck Jr./Sr.High School in Dutchess County. ● Email: drew_hopkins@yahoo.com
Erin Horn
2007
Since participating in the Polgar Fellowship Program, Erin Horn has completed her research on the
diamondback terrapins of Jamaica Bay. Currently, she is finalizing her thesis, which explores the
differences among diamondback terrapins of Jamaica Bay and those from other sites. At one year posthatching, her terrapins were released to their original sites, including over 50 very large yearlings to
Jamaica Bay. These releases were PIT tagged and she sincerely hopes that Dr. Russ Burke’s turtle crew

George Jackman
2009
Having grown up on the south shore of Long Island, George
Jackman was constantly exploring the wetlands and tidal
reaches of the Great South Bay. Swimming, fishing, and
hunting were the foundation of his formative years and have
been instilled in him as some of his finest memories. Fish,
crabs, and shellfish were plentiful and places to swim and fish
abounded. Unfortunately, those special places have mostly
been developed and many of the fish have since declined.
Soon after high school, George entered the NYPD Police
Academy and began a career in law enforcement in earnest.
He worked in some of the roughest neighborhoods in Brooklyn at the time, and he was eventually
promoted to the rank of lieutenant. Though he had a wonderful and adventuresome career assigned to
some fine details, including patrolling the streets of NYC with the Mounted Unit via horseback,
something was missing in his life. George enrolled in night classes at the local community college and
found that school was dynamic and fulfilling as never before. The pursuit of his education inspired and
impelled him to follow a lifelong but long forgotten dream of being a biologist. As time passed, and way
turned unto way, the words of Henry David Thoreau, “Go confidently in the direction of your dreams and
live the life you always imagined,” resonated with him and kindled a desire to recreate his life. Upon
receiving his bachelor’s degree from Queens College, George subsequently retired from the NYPD and
enrolled in the Master’s Program. He became an adjunct instructor with Queens College and the CUNY
School of Professional Studies. Currently, George is in the CUNY Doctoral Program working on
elemental uptake in winter flounder. His goals are to help restore and conserve fisheries, and blaze a path
for his young daughter with the hopes that she will follow her educational dreams too. ● City University

Kristen Kuhn
2003
Kristen Kuhn received a Master’s degree in Marine Biology from the University of Maine with a focus on
population genetics of an anadromous fish species, the alewife (Alosa pseudoharengus). This work
utilized both microsatellite and mtDNA markers to identify routes of invasion and potential sources of
origin for recently introduced populations. Her Doctoral research at the University of Delaware focused
on population genetics of Southern Ocean fishes. The main focus of the research was to identify both
nuclear DNA (nDNA) and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that
could be used as diagnostic and identifying markers for both management and conservation purposes. Dr.
Kuhn’s postdoctoral research at Yale University focuses on population genetics and phylogenetics of
notothenioid fishes, endemic to the waters surrounding Antarctica. In the near-shore Antarctic marine
habitats notothenioid fishes comprise over 75% of the species diversity, 91% of the abundance and 92%
of the biomass. This is a pattern that is entirely unique to the Southern Ocean surrounding Antarctica.
Given the dynamic history of climate change in the Southern Ocean and the associated adaptations to
avoid freezing expressed in species comprising the Antarctic notothenioid adaptive radiation, a key
problem is to determine the timing of notothenioid diversification relative to the paleoclimatic history of
the Southern Ocean. This research explores the timing and pattern of diversification in notothenioids
through the analysis of time calibrated molecular phylogenies inferred from multiple mitochondrial and
single-copy nuclear genes, in addition to numerous population genetic and phylogenetic studies. She is
also looking at large scale phylogenetic relationships among various groups of labroid fishes. ● Yale

William G. Wallace
1992
William Wallace received his Polgar Fellowship in the summer of 1992. The
project was an offshoot of his M.S. research (at SUNY Stony Brook) and ultimately
formed the basis of his Ph.D. work from the same institution. The focus of the
project was to determine if exposure to a toxic metal (Cd) altered the trophic transfer
of Cd from an aquatic oligochaete to a predator (grass shrimp). The results of this
Polgar funded work were published in a special “Hudson River” issue of the journal
Estuaries. After receiving his Ph.D. in 1996 in Coastal Oceanography, William was
a National Research Council Post-doctoral Fellow at the United States Geological
Survey where he conducted research on San Francisco Bay and is currently a
tenured faculty at CUNY (College of Staten Island) focusing on the impacts of
metals in the Arthur Kill and New York Harbor region. At present, Dr. Wallace has about twenty
research articles of which a large majority link back to ideas and hypotheses set forth in his Polgar
research. Dr. Wallace said that he will “always be grateful to the Hudson River Foundation and
27
