Research field

In general I am an Aquatic Ecologist, and I am particularily interested in the following areas of research:

  • paleoecology: study of biological remains (mostly diatoms) in sediments in order to reconstruct the lake's or estuary's environmental history
  • water quality assessment using recent (benthic) diatom assemblages
  • phytoplankton dynamics of lakes
  • human impact on surface freshwater bodies
  • numerical analysis of biological data
