He obtained his PhD from Queen’s University, and an M.Sc. from the University of Illinois. Dr Suski’s research program is focused on the conservation of aquatic ecosystems from natural and anthropogenic stressors, having previously worked on topics that include climate change, recreational angling and land use disturbances. The questions being asked by Dr Suski’s research team span from the level of genes to ecosystems, including both individual- and population-level responses. His recent research has focused on how freshwater ecosystems will respond to elevations in carbon dioxide, as well as projects that use zones of elevated carbon dioxide to deter the movement of invasive fishes.
