My primary research focus is investigating long term and short term environmental change in lakes and open water wetland systems. I have active research programs in Nova Scotia, British Columbia, and Newfoundland focussed primarily on the application of abiotic proxies in reconstructing environmental change in mesotrophic and eutrophic lakes.  I am particularly interested in the vulnerability of aquatic habitat to short term climate and environmental change. I also am involved in research projects investigating mass wasting in Atlantic Canada, Holocene glacial fluctuations in western Canada and the Bloody Creek Impact feature near Bridgetown, Nova Scotia.
