Christian Bigler is a Professor at Umeå University, where he leads research on long-term environmental changes, focusing on the dynamics of lake ecosystems. His work emphasizes paleolimnological techniques that allow for the reconstruction of environmental histories in lakes, investigating the impact of significant environmental changes such as climate change, acidification, and eutrophication. He engages in applied research on environmental degradation and recovery, with a keen interest in developing robust quantitative estimates of past environmental conditions using statistical methods. His projects explore the complex interactions between lake biota, especially diatoms, and their environments, and he addresses both historical reconstructions and present-day ecosystem dynamics. As a member of the Paleolimnology Research group, his contributions have implications for understanding aquatic-terrestrial linkages and contemporary lake systems.
