Postdoctoral Fellow, Department of Geography and Environmental Studies, Carleton University
Freshwaters around the world are impacted by multiple co-occurring stressors and my research provides long-term perspectives about how aquatic ecosystems have changed over the last two centuries. My graduate research at Queen's University (Kingston, Ontario, Canada) examined the cumulative effects of climatic changes, resource extraction operations, and land-use activities on temperate and Arctic freshwater ecosystems in Canada. As an NSERC Postdoctoral Fellow at Carleton University (Ottawa, Ontario) and Mount Allison University (Sackville, New Brunswick), I am assessing microplastic pollution at the intersection of aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems; and I am also examining ecological recovery in Maritime lakes that were impacted by historical gold mining activities.
