Professor Mathew Wells
Investigates physical processes in stratified lakes, and their influence on water quality and biological responses.
Assistant Professor Cosima Porteus
Focusses on understanding how fish sense, interact with and respond to their environment, linking environmental changes or challenges to whole animal physiology, behaviour and ecology.
Professor Nicholas Mandrak
The objective of my research program is to better understand the patterns, processes, and stressors of Canadian freshwater fishes at multiple taxonomic and geographic scales. Such knowledge is essential for the conservation, protection, and recovery of freshwater fish biodiversity in Canada.
Assistant Professor Chelsea Rochman
Investigates the sources, fate, and ecological implications of microplastics and other contaminants in aquatic habitats.
Professor George Arhonditsis
Employs mechanistic and statistical ecological models to elucidate ecological patterns in a watershed context and to assist environmental management.
Associate Professor Bailey McMeans
Studies how fish and aquatic ecosystems respond to winter periods and seasonally changing conditions.
Professor Bonnie McElhinny
Bonnie is Principal of New College at the University of Toronto, and Professor of Anthropology and Women and Gender Studies. She regularly teaches courses on unsettling settler colonialism, living on the water in Toronto, and water and social justice. She directs Water Allies @ New College.
Associate Professor Laura Brown
Investigates hydrological and climatological interactions with lake ice and snow under current and future climate scenarios.
Professor Carl Mitchell
Studies how hydrology influences biogeochemical processes and contaminant fate and transport, particularly in urban ecosystems.
Professor Maria Dittrich
Employs molecular microbiology, aqueous geochemistry and mineralogy to study mineral-bacteria interactions in terrestrial and aquatic environments.
