Areas of Research
The research conducted in my lab primarily focuses on conservation and evolutionary ecology of threatened aquatic and semi-aquatic species in NW Canada (especially AB and YT). More specifically, lab members are studying water quality, aquatic community diversity and health, and contaminant levels along elevational gradients in western Canadian mountains.
Successfully achieving our research goals will not be possible without the inclusion of people with diverse experiences, backgrounds, and ways of thinking and interacting with the natural world. Accordingly, we seek to recruit, support, and retain members from diverse backgrounds, with an active focus on folks from historically marginalised groups. We acknowledge that the sciences have not always been a welcoming space for everyone, and we actively work to create an inclusive environment. We also acknowledge that doing so is a lifelong journey, not a “one and done” item to be crossed off a checklist.
