Jennifer K. Adams, PhD

 

 

I am interested in linking concepts from aquatic ecology, hydrology, and environmental chemistry to conserve freshwater systems in the Anthropocene. I use field- and laboratory-based methods, and a combination of contemporary and paleolimnological techniques, to generate hydrological, biological and chemical datasets to further our understanding of the effects of human activities and natural processes on aquatic systems. My research has spanned freshwater systems of Arctic, subarctic, and temperate regions.
