Juan M. Soria García
Professor, Cavanilles Institute for Biodiversity and Evolutionary Biology, University of Valencia My research focus is on ecological quality of wetlands, lagoons, permanent and temporary ponds and recently also in limnology of reservoirs, with emphasis in trophic status and Ecological Quality Ratio under the Water Framework Directive of the European Union. My main goals as SIL’s […]
Gea-Jae Joo
My research is on 1) long-term ecological research of a regulated river (Nakdong River), 2) ecological mechanism of plankton blooms in a regulated river system, 3) food web dynamics in the flood-plain wetlands, 4) impact of aquatic invasive species, 5) scientific understanding of traditional knowledge and culture in the wetlands. My laboratory studies diverse taxa […]
Rey Donne S. Papa
Professor, Biological Sciences and Dean of the College of Science, University of Santo Tomas My research interests are on tropical freshwater microcrustacean zooplankton ecology and systematics as well as lake ecology. My laboratory houses and maintains the UST Zooplankton Reference Collection (UST-ZRC), the first and so far, only organized repository of freshwater zooplankton in the […]
Åge Molvaersmyr
Researcher, NORCE Norwegian Research Centre I work mainly with topics related to the effects of eutrophication. This includes monitoring activities and environmental assessment studies in a range of lakes and rivers in the Jæren region, which is the main area of livestock farming in Norway. My primary focus is on phytoplankton ecology.
Marc Schallenberg
Researcher, University of Otago I am a research fellow in the Department of Zoology at the University of Otago. My research interests are the assessment of anthropogenic impacts on lake ecosystems, the structure and functioning of planktonic communities along environmental gradients, aquatic microbial ecology and palaeolimnological reconstruction of historic environments.
Singaraju S.S. Sarma
My research interests are limno-ecology of different aquatic organisms (Rotifera, Cladocera, Copepoda, Ostracoda, Anostraca, Cnidaria, fish larvae) with special reference to life table demography, population dynamics, body size, and predator-prey interactions. Taxonomy of Rotifera and Cladocera, and aquatic ecotoxicology. My goals as NR for Mexico are to increase the membership in SIL from Mexico, conduct […]
Shin-ichi Nakano
My research focus is on protistan ecology from lakes, streams and coastal seas, together with ecology of heterotrophic bacteria and cyanobacteria. My main goal as a National Representative is to have more communication with all the activities organized by the SIL for more membership from Japan.
Ilia S. Ostrovsky
My research interests are climate change; general limnology, impact of physical processes on ecology of lakes; greenhouse gas emission; sedimentation; organic carbon fluxes; ecological impacts of lake water level fluctuations; fishery acoustics; underwater acoustics. My main goals as SIL’s National Representative are to support scientific communication in limnology across countries and societies, to promote studying […]
Mary Kelly-Quinn
My primary research activities focus on the assessment of land-use and other anthropogenic activities on the hydrochemical and ecological quality of surface waters. I have completed studies on the aquatic habitats of peatlands, agricultural, upland, urban and forested landscapes. My main goal as Ireland’s SIL representative is to enable improved communication among Irish freshwater researchers […]
András Abonyi
Researcher, Institute of Aquatic Ecology, Centre for Ecological Research I am an aquatic ecologist with a solid background in phytoplankton ecology. I am eager to couple ecosystem functioning to functional diversity (BEF) in planktic algal communities in a mechanistic way and to better understand the importance of Chytrid algal parasites in aquatic food webs. As […]
