Research Area(s)

• Examining the sensitivity of Lake Diefenbaker to nutrients under a changing climate
• Examining the effect of ultraviolet radiation on food webs and the biogeochemisrty of C, N, and P in lakes. An adjacent study is investigating the effect of climate on the long-term carbon cycle in lakes
• Examining the effect of climate change (drought) on Prairie lake ecosystems
• Development of methods for the estimation of aquatic nutrients (e.g., P)
• Factors (e.g., food web structure, temperature, stoichiometry, pH, and salinity) that affect the cycling efficiency of elements in food webs
• Water quality and lake and reservoir management
