Welcome to the Gushulak limnology lab based in the Department of Biological Sciences at the University of Manitoba, located in Treaty 1 Territory (Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada).
We investigate how lakes and wetlands across the Manitoba are changing due to human activity across space and through time.
Please explore to find out more about our research, members, and student opportunities.

PaleolimnologyWe use sediments collected in cores to understand how freshwater systems respond to environmental and climate changes through time |
Eutrophication
We examine how excessive nutrient inputs can degrade water quality and cause harmful algal blooms in lakes and wetlands |
Multiple Stressors
We strive to understand how multiple environmental stressors interact with climate change to alter freshwater environments in unprecedented ways |
Our research is funded by NSERC and the University of Manitoba

We strive to create a safe and inclusive environment both in the lab and the field. Everyone is welcome!
Our lab is located in Treaty 1 Territory, the original lands of the Anishinaabeg, Ininiwak, Anisininewuk, Dakota Oyate, and Dene peoples, and the National Homeland of the Red River Métis.
We respect the Treaties that were made on these territories, we acknowledge the harms and mistakes of the past, and we dedicate ourselves to move forward in partnership with Indigenous communities in a spirit of Reconciliation and collaboration.
