David Kreutzweiser

Graduate (2009) of the Ph.D. program in Boreal Ecology

Dr. David Kreutzweiser is the first PhD graduate in the Boreal Ecology program.

 

Dr. Kreutzweiser’s Ph.D. research involved a series of large-scale experiments to study the   environmental impacts and possible benefits of partial-harvest logging in areas along boreal forest streams. He worked with logging companies to experiment with different levels of harvest to assess effects on water temperatures, fine sediment deposition, organic matter decomposition rates, and associated aquatic invertebrate communities. Dr. Kreutzweiser’s work will contribute to the development of alternative forest management strategies for Boreal regions of Ontario.

 

Dr. David Kreutzweiser is a research scientist at the Canadian Forest Service (CFS) in Sault Ste. Marie where he leads a research group interested in the environmental impacts of forest management activities and the development of ecologically-sustainable forest management practices. He hopes to develop further linkages between the CFS research program and the Cooperative Freshwater Ecology Unit at Laurentian.

 

Dr. Kreutzweiser obtained his master’s degree in freshwater ecology from Laurentian in 1996. He later decided to pursue his studies, and was happy to have the opportunity to participate in the new Boreal Ecology PhD program at Laurentian University.
