Irene Gregory-Eaves

Irene Gregory-Eaves is a Professor in the Department of Biology at McGill University. Her research focuses on Conservation, Ecology, Evolution and Behaviour. Her lab's long-term goals aim to enhance understanding of the structure and functioning of lakes and quantify how these ecosystems have responded to human activities over the Anthropocene. The lab integrates data from lake surveys, time series, and field experiments. She holds the Canada Research Chair in Freshwater Ecology and Global Change.

Irene Gregory-Eaves is a Professor in the Department of Biology at McGill University, specializing in aquatic ecology, limnology, and paleolimnology. Her research explores the impacts of climate change and human activities on aquatic ecosystems, with a focus on long-term environmental change and its effects on biodiversity and water quality. She investigates the role of nutrients, temperature, and land use in shaping lake ecosystems, as well as the presence of pollutants such as microplastics and nitrogen deposition. Her work integrates sedimentary DNA analysis and paleolimnological records to understand historical ecological shifts and inform contemporary environmental management.
