Biography

Roseanna's research focuses on understanding climate, nutrient, and human driven lake ecosystem change over timescales of 100s to 1000s of years. I am particularly interested in arctic and subarctic lake ecosystems, which are highly sensitive to a warming climate and currently undergoing large scale change.

Teaching Summary

Roseanna teaches lake systems, water quality, climate change, and statistical analysis.

Roseanna is co-convenor for:

  • Academic Skills (BIOS1069)

Roseanna teaches on the following courses:

  • Climate Change Science (BIOS2013)
  • The Urban Environment (BIOS2114)
  • Environmental Geochemistry (BIOS2044)
  • Environmental Pollution Field Course (BIOS3020)
  • Arctic Ecology Field Course (BIOS3023)
  • Climate Change Mitigation (BIOS3103)

Research Summary

Research interests include:

  • freshwater invertebrates (such as Chironomidae, non-biting midges) as a proxy for past climate and lake ecosystem conditions
  • changes in lake methane production with changing climatic and environmental conditions
  • development and application of statistical tools to increase our understanding of complex systems, such as ecosystems
  • human-driven lake ecosystem change
