We are a group of freshwater ecologists from the Biology Department at St. Catherine University in Saint Paul, Minnesota. Our research takes us to Iceland and other arctic regions where we are working to understand how temperature influences nitrogen fixation rates and metabolism in cyanobacterial assemblages. Nitrogen fixation is extremely sensitive to temperature and therefore nitrogen gas from the atmosphere may become more accessible to freshwater ecosystems as the climate warms. We are working to understand the potential ecological and environmental implications of changes in cyanobacteria species composition and nitrogen fixation rates in arctic lakes and streams.

Aquatic Ecology Lab Video

Hello Readers,
It is hard to believe that the semester is coming to a close. I have a new and exciting video production to share! In addition to a very busy semester of video production, our lab has analyzed hundreds of samples and given five presentations sharing our work.

 For me, the time has come - graduation. It has been such a heartfelt honor to be a collaborator within St. Catherine University's Aquatic Ecology Lab. I am so very humbled and grateful to have been an integral part of such important ecological research and outreach efforts. I will dearly miss my colleagues and I wish all of the new members of the lab the absolute best!  Happy 2016.

Delor, Jill, Abbi, Bree, and Paula celebrating a great fall semester! 

Be sure to check out our new video - which represents the culmination of my video production efforts this semester.  Hope you enjoy and learn a little bit too!
