Aquatic Environments

作为加拿大水生生态系统二级研究主席，Matthew Bogard博士将制定一项研究和培训计划，以确定大陆水生网络（湖泊，溪流，水库）对人类扰动（气候变化，土地利用加剧和水文操纵）的响应。野外、实验室和基于模型的方法在自然和实验环境中使用，将描述压力源如何相互作用地重塑营养物质、有机物和强效温室气体的水生循环。这项研究将为支持关键生态系统服务的生物地球化学过程提供新的见解，这是适当维持和管理加拿大水生资源所需要的。

As Tier 2 Canada Research Chair in Aquatic Ecosystems, Dr. Matthew Bogard will develop a research and training program to define the response of continental aquatic networks (lakes, streams, reservoirs) to human perturbations (changing climate, intensifying land use, and hydrologic manipulation). Field, laboratory, and model-based approaches used within natural and experimental settings will characterize how stressors interactively reshape aquatic cycling of nutrients, organic matter, and potent greenhouse gases. This research will provide new insights into the biogeochemical processes underpinning critical ecosystem services, which is needed to properly sustain and manage Canadian aquatic resources.
