Gavin L Simpson

PeerJ Author & Reviewer

Summary

I undertake research on environmental problems, including climate change and atmospheric pollution, affecting lakes. I use lake sediments to look back in time at the history of lakes to look at what organisms are present and how the species in the lake have changed through time and how lakes evolve and respond to pollution and perturbations.

I'm also an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Biology at the University of Regina.

Lack of quantitative training among early-career ecologists: a survey of the problem and potential solutions

Thank you for an interesting & thought-provoking study. As someone who has taught some of the "elaborate multivariate statistics..." (Line52) many of the points you raise resonate...
