Quantiative Environmental Scientist (Ecology not elsewhere classified; Geology not elsewhere classified; Surface water hydrology)

Regina, Canada

I undertake research on environmental problems affecting lakes, including climate change & atmospheric pollution. I use lake sediments to look back in time at the history of lakes to see what organisms are present and how the species in the lake have changed through time.
