Trent University biology Professor Marguerite Xenopoulos was elated that she’d be able to further her research into the impact of climate change on freshwater ecosystems when she learned that she won a major Early Researcher Award, valued at $150,000, from the Ministry of Research and Innovation.
Professor Xenopoulos is one of only three faculty members from Trent to win this provincial award since its inception.
The highly competitive Early Researcher Award program is bestowed by the provincial government to assist talented researchers who are within the first five years of their Independent academic research career. Professor Xenopoulos' award came as part of the second round of Early Research Awards announced by the Ministry of Research and Innovation late in 2006.
The main focus of Professor Xenopoulos’ research is to assess the ecological and biogeochemical effects of global change stressors in freshwater lakes and rivers on species ranging from bacteria to fish. Her findings will help develop better management practices and policies in numerous applications, such as agriculture, water quality, energy and biodiversity conservation. This project is a continuation of research that began in 2001.
