The Aquatic Ecosystem Studies laboratory at Université Laval is led by Dr. Warwick F. Vincent.

Warwick Vincent and his research group study lakes, rivers and coastal oceans, with emphasis on high latitude ecosystems. They have a special interest in the diversity of aquatic life at the base of food webs, and how aquatic ecosystems respond to environmental change. Their work includes laboratory and field studies on:

• Ecology, diversity and physiology of cyanobacteria
• Underwater light, UV-effects and photosynthesis
• Aquatic biogeochemistry and photochemistry
• Trophic ecology of rivers, lakes and ponds
• Microbial biodiversity and function
• Impacts of climate change
