Personnel: Principal Investigators

John Smol

John P. Smol, Professor - Queen's University (Theme 1)
John Smol is a paleolimnologist, biology professor, Canada Research Chair in Environmental Change, and co-director of the Paleoecological Environmental Assessment and Research Laboratory (PEARL), at the Department of Biology at Queen's University. His previous research has focused on long-term environmental change in lakes from across North America and around the world.

Lewis Molot

Lewis Molot, Professor - York University (Theme 2)
Lewis Molot is a professor in the Faculty of Environmental Studies at York University. His research is focused on ecological processes and pollution in lakes, with work on acidification, carbon processing in lakes (photochemistry) and eutrophication while developing management tools (models) to assist environmental managers.
