Michelle Jackson

Associate Professor of Freshwater/Marine Ecology, Dr Michelle Jackson's main research interest lies in understanding individual-to-ecosystem level responses to environmental change, including warming, invasion, pollution and habitat loss. She is particularly interested in interactions among these stressors, and how stressor effects cascade through food webs with implications for ecosystem processes and services. She uses a combination of field studies across both natural and anthropogenic stressor gradients, manipulative experiments and meta-analyses to seek general predictive rules in multiple stressor effects. Most of her research is in freshwater ecosystems, spanning from the Arctic to the tropics.
