Main Research Areas

Winds & the Ecology of nearshore areas in lakes: Spatial and temporal distribution of habitats and benthic communities, with a focus on how wind-driven physical forces (waves, upwellings, internal waves) structure these nearshore areas. Pelagic-nearshore coupling.

Nutrient dynamics in lakes: Role of nearshore sediments and benthic organisms in nutrient dynamics, with focus on Nitrogen-to-Phosphorus (N:P) stoichiometry.

Foodwebs: Feeding interactions in planktonic and benthic communities, especially between invertebrates and algae.

Macroecology: Body size distribution, allometric relationships, scaling of environmental variability.
