Research interests

I have broad research interests in ecology and environmental science, but they generally converge towards 1) the restoration of degraded ecosystems and 2) the ecology of wetlands. Recently, I have focused on the rehabilitation of lands and wetlands disturbed by mining in northern Ontario.
