Jason Stockwell is a limnologist and Director/Professor at the Rubenstein Ecosystem Science Laboratory at the University of Vermont.[1] His research addresses lake ecology, including food web dynamics in large lakes and ecological processes under winter ice cover.[2]

Education

Stockwell earned a Bachelor of Science degree from Northland College between 1987 and 1991.[3] He completed a PhD in Zoology at the University of Toronto - Mississauga between 1991 and 1996.[4]

Career

Since 2011, Stockwell has served as Director and Professor at the Rubenstein Ecosystem Science Laboratory at the University of Vermont.[5]

Research

According to Semantic Scholar, Stockwell has published 115 papers that have collectively been cited 4,231 times, giving him an h-index of 39.[6] His most cited work, "Ecology under lake ice," published in Ecology Letters in 2017, has been cited 416 times.[7] Other frequently cited publications include "Storm impacts on phytoplankton community dynamics in lakes," published in Global Change Biology in 2020 (232 citations), and studies on Lake Superior fish communities, including "Adverse Effects of Alewives on Laurentian Great Lakes Fish Communities" (2008, 146 citations) and "Trophic connections in Lake Superior Part I: The offshore fish community" (2011, 106 citations).[8]

Stockwell has received four grants from the National Science Foundation totaling $413,681.[9] These include a 2018 workshop award of $14,865 for a "Workshop to Establish a Collaborative Global Experiment to Understand Coregonid Adaptive Response to Changing Thermal Regimes," awarded to the University of Vermont & State Agricultural College.[10] He also received a 2014 award of $318,650 for an REU Site project on "Interdisciplinary Research on Human Impacts in the Lake Champlain Ecosystem."[11] Two related 2010 and 2011 collaborative awards, totaling $45,078 and $35,088 respectively, supported the CAMEO project examining trade-offs between abundance and condition in fishery ecosystems, involving the Gulf of Maine Research Institute and the University of Vermont & State Agricultural College.[12]
