I welcome motivated graduate (and undergraduate) students interested in physical geography, biogeochemistry and environmental science. My research uses ecosystem-scale field studies, controlled experiments and emerging analytical techniques to understand how environmental stressors, such as contaminants and climate change, impact aquatic ecosystems, particularly in the Canadian Arctic and boreal ecoregions. Current and potential projects include: i) impacts of climate change on mercury cycling, methylmercury production and bioaccumulation in Arctic ecosystems; ii) quantifying ecosystem metabolism (primary production and respiration) in ice-covered Arctic and boreal lakes; iii) reconstructing long-term trends in atmospheric mercury concentrations using tree-rings, sediment cores and ice cores; and iv) climate change impacts on lake and watershed biogeochemistry (carbon and nutrient cycling) in northern regions.
Interested students are encouraged to please contact me for the most up to date information on potential opportunities at the undergraduate, graduate and post-doctoral levels. Please include with your inquiry a copy of your CV and latest transcripts.
