Dear DoLS Team,
I was awarded a DoLS travel award that helped me attend the annual meeting of
The Association of the Sciences of Limnology and Oceanography (ASLO) in Hawaii
in February 2017. I was invited to give a talk in a special session on multiple
environmental stressors lead by Ellard Hunting and Martin Solan (Leiden University,
NL). My talk was titled Multiple stressors in freshwaters: the effects of local and
catchment-wide stressors in streams.
The organisers of the special session arranged several informal meetings with the
invited speakers, and as a result we are now in the process of writing a multi-author
review paper. The conference also gave me the opportunity to interact and exchange
ideas with collaborators on my current project on the effects of warming in freshwater
ecosystems, such as Jill Welter (Saint Catherine University, US). The conference
had a large range of high-profile speakers well known in the field of aquatic ecology
and I attended many interesting talks.
In summary, attending the conference was worthwhile, and I am very grateful for the
DoLS Travel Award that helped me participate.
Sincerely,
Dr. Michelle Jackson
