Research Interests

I am interested in different aspects of climate change, its effects on the aquatic systems but also on humanity depending on aquatic resources.

Invasive species in aquatic and terrestrial systems is another area of interest. I try to integrate students in projects concerned with their immediate environment, the state of the dykes around Sackville, e.g., or the importance of supporting sustainable agriculture and local food sources. Changes in thinking can start and happen right at our doorstep, concepts like climate change don’t have to stay abstract and remote. I would like to convey environmental issues PLUS the message that it is never too late and no head-into-sand practice will bring the next generation forward and towards innovative thinking and changing matters.
