Grant: Canada Research Chairs
University of Lethbridge
$75,000.00
Aquatic Environments
FY 2024-25
Summary
The degradation of Prairie water resources costs Canadians millions of dollars annually to manage and threatens water security. As CRC, I will continue to explore how Prairie aquatic ecosystems are impacted by human activities (land use and pollutant release, hydrologic regulation, species invasions, and climatic change). By integrating biogeochemical and ecological approaches across scales from microbial habitats to the entire Prairie region, I will identify how stressors reshape the cycling of nutrients, organic matter, and potent greenhouse gases. This work will address critical societal issues including eutrophication management, water quality loss, sustainable agriculture, and nature-based climate solutions.
