Meredith Holgerson Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology

I am a freshwater ecologist studying how ponds and lakes function and respond to environmental change. My research program focuses on community and ecosystem ecology, and I am interested in how organisms and ecosystem processes interact. I ask questions about freshwater food webs, community composition, greenhouse gas production, and ecosystem metabolism. My research relies on field studies, small-scale and whole-ecosystem experiments, and collaborations to scale local observations to global patterns.

Meredith Holgerson on X: I'm thrilled to join @CornellEEB-- it's a wonderful community of scientists with an impressive history of limnology! I'm recruiting PhD students (starting fall 2021), a post-doc (spring 2021)
