Chair in Aquatic Ecosystem Science and Sustainability
EF 2024-25
Résumé
The Chair in Aquatic Ecosystem Science and Sustainability aims to protect freshwaters and their
ecosystem services by identifying how variations in lake morphometry (size and shape), and
watershed connectedness influence the vulnerability of freshwaters to anthropogenic and climate
pressures. New approaches will be developed to assess detailed morphometry at large spatial
scales. Thresholds in watershed development resulting in abrupt changes in biogeochemical
processing of carbon and nutrients that influence ecosystem services will be determined as a
function of how morphometry and connectedness act to buffer against environmental stressors.
This information will provide authentic guidance for future sustainability of freshwater resources.
