Kerri Finlay is a Professor and Canada Research Chair at the University of Regina, where she also serves as the Director of the Institute of Environmental Change and Society. Her research interests are centered around limnology, specifically focusing on carbon budgets in lakes, greenhouse gas emissions, and lake water quality. Professor Finlay's work investigates the role of prairie lakes, wetland ponds, and reservoirs in the global carbon budget, as well as the effects of anthropogenic activities on water quality. She employs field-based analyses to understand the underlying mechanisms driving water quality and carbon cycling dynamics, aiming to predict future water quality under changing climate and land-use scenarios. Kerri leads interdisciplinary research teams that integrate social and political perspectives into the study of water quality, conflict, vulnerability, and adaptation, involving local communities in Saskatchewan through a Community-Based Water Quality Monitoring program.
