Biography
Steve Ormerod came to Cardiff in 1980 for the prestigious UWIST MSc in Applied Hydrobiology, from there completing a PhD on water quality and invertebrates in the Wye river-system. Simultaneously, she developed an interest in the ecology of river birds, showing for the first time how this group was affected by acid rain. These major themes — freshwaters, invertebrates and birds in aquatic habitats — have continued to provide my major research models.Currently working as Professor in School Of Biosciences in University of Wales , Cardiff.
Research Interest
Global change effects on freshwater organisms and ecosystems, River biodiversity and ecosystem services, The ecology of river and wetland birds.
