Biography
Dr. Heidi Swanson is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biology, University of Waterloo, University Avenue West, Waterloo, ON, Canada.
Research Interest
Professor Swanson's research interests lie at the interface of freshwater ecology, fish ecology, and contaminant bioaccumulation, and her research program reflects my interest in elucidating complex ecological interactions with chemical tracers. Many of Professor Swanson's projects involve analyses of stable isotope ratios and/or otolith microchemistry. Professor Swanson aims to conduct research that is applicable to multiple stakeholders, and she places great value in developing positive collaborative relationships with other academics, government researchers, Aboriginal communities, and industry.
