Trent Biologist Honoured by Leading Aquatic Science Association
Maggie Xenopoulos listed as sustaining fellow with Association for the Sciences of Limnology and Oceanography for contributions to aquatic ecosystems research
Dr. Maggie Xenopoulos, professor of Biology at Trent, recently joined 28 other leading researchers to be named inaugural Sustaining Fellows of the Association for the Sciences of Limnology and Oceanography (ASLO), an international organization whose goals are to “create, integrate and communicate knowledge across the full spectrum of aquatic sciences, advance public awareness and education about aquatic resources and research, and promote scientific stewardship of aquatic resources for the public interest.”
“I am humbled to count myself among such a distinguished group of internationally-renown aquatic scientists,” said Prof. Xenopoulos upon learning about the honour.
Prof. Xenopoulos has been a member of ASLO for 20 years and is currently an associate editor for its flagship journal Limnology and Oceanography. At Trent, Prof. Xenopoulos currently teaches Limnology (the study of lakes and rivers), Stream Ecology and Global Change of Aquatic Ecosystems. Prof. Xenopoulos’ research focuses on understanding how humans and their activities, such as climate change or land use, are affecting freshwater ecosystems.
