Understanding the effects of human activities on aquatic ecosystems
Our lab is generating new knowledge on how diverse human activities affect the structure and function of freshwater and marine ecosystems. We conduct field studies in temperate through Arctic climates to understand how industrial, agricultural, aquacultural and municipal effluents and contaminants subject to long range transport affect the abundance and diversity of aquatic organisms and why fish and other aquatic life from some areas are higher in contaminants than others.
