Current Research
Dr. Lindsay has been involved in future scenario and ecological risk assessment studies at local to national scales in Canada, the USA and Panama to understand effects of land cover and land use (particularly agriculture and urbanization) and more recently, climate change, on wildlife, water, and people, and to explore approaches for incorporating nature conservation into land-use policy, planning and decision-making. Her current involvement in graduate student research includes habitat suitability modeling for species at risk, relationships between farmland heterogeneity and biodiversity, and effects of land use and environmental governance on the sustainability of ecosystem services in a rural Ontario watershed.
