Dr. Elena Bennett, Professor and Canada Research Chair in Sustainability Science, McGill University, Montreal, QC, Canada

Presentation: Ecosystem services and good Anthropocenes

Dr. Elena Bennett directs NSERC ResNet, a pan-Canadian network designed to support Canada's capacity to monitor, model, and manage its working landscapes and seascapes (and all the ecosystem services they provide) for the long-term shared health, prosperity, and resilience for all Canadians through community-engaged research. Her research focuses on understanding and managing for multifunctional working landscapes via a better understanding of the relationships between people, ecosystems, and the provision of ecosystem services. She earned her MSc (Land Resources) and PhD (Limnology) from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and is thrilled to be “coming home” for this conference.

The Alfred C. Redfield Lifetime Achievement Award honors major, long-term achievements in the fields of limnology and oceanography, including research, education, and service to the community and society. The recipient of the 2024 A.C. Redfield Lifetime Achievement Award is John Smol (Queen's University) for leadership in the development and application of the field of paleolimnology; his work has established the use of lake sediment records and indicator species to identify water quality problems, monitor ecosystem fluctuations, and to track changing climate.
