Amanda Poste is an aquatic ecologist/limnologist that is driven by a desire to understand human impacts on the aquatic environment. Her research has focused on a wide range of topics, including: land-ocean interactions, environmental contaminants (fate, transport, biomagnification), food web ecology, eutrophication and phytoplankton ecology, paleolimnology, as well as catchment biogeochemistry. In her research, Amanda aims to take interdisciplinary and integrative approaches in order to gain a comprehensive understanding of the complex and diverse threats that currently face aquatic ecosystems.
