Jill Welter, Ph.D. presentation - Arctic research understanding how human activities cause environmental change

Dr. Jill Welter is a professor of biology at St. Catherine University in Saint Paul, Minnesota.  She is an ecosystem scientist with expertise in the ecology of streams. Dr. Welter's research aims to understand how human activities that cause environmental change, including climate warming and nutrient pollution, influence aquatic food webs and nutrient cycling. This work includes the increasingly important role that nitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria may play in stream ecosystems as a result of rising temperatures, and the potential consequences for aquatic food webs and the the cycling of carbon and nitrogen between land, air, and water. She has recently worked in Greenland, Svalbard Norway, Kamchatka Russia and in Iceland, where she collaborates with an international team of scientists and works to promote women in STEM and arctic ecology.

All UWL members, teachers and community members are invited to attend her talk.
