Dr. David Schindler

Dr. David Schindler is discribed by some as the 'world's greatest living freshwater ecologist.' As a Professor of Ecology at the University of Alberta, Dr. Schindler specializes in land-water interactions. He has studied the effects of climate warming, alien fish stocks, airborne contaminants and other human impacts on freshwaters of northern and western Canada as founder and former director of the Experimental Lakes Project of the Canadian Department of Fisheries and Oceans, which conducted interdisciplinary research on the effects of eutrophication, acid rain, radioactive elements and climate change on boreal ecosystems. His work has been widely used in formulating ecologically sound management policy in Canada, the United States and in Europe. Dr. Schindler has received numerous national and international research awards, including Canada's highest scientific honor, the NSERC Gerhard Herzberg Gold Medal for Science and Engineering in 2001.
