David Schindler
David Schindler, Killam Memorial
Professor of Ecology at the University of Alberta, is internationally
recognized for his research on the harmful effects that acid rain and
phosphorous-rich detergents have on fresh water. For the past decade, he
and his students have been examining the effects of anthropogenic
disturbance on alpine lakes. His current research interests include the
study of fisheries management in mountain lakes, the biomagnification of
organochlorines in food chains, effects of climate change and UV radiation
on lakes, and global carbon and nitrogen budgets. He is particularly
interested in the restoration of lakes suffering damage due to the
introduction of alien species. In recent years he has earned significant
accolades, including the Stockholm Water Prize, the Volvo International
Environment Prize, the International Society of Limnology's
Naumann-Thienemann Medal, the American Association of Limnology and
Oceanography's Hutchinson Medal, and most recently, the NSERC Gerhard
Herzberg Gold Medal for Science and Engineering.
