Biography

Professor Hall’s research focuses on improving the understanding of the roles of natural processes and human activities on hydroecological conditions in northern water-rich landscapes. He integrates contemporary hydroecological studies with long-term records of past environmental change obtained from lake sediment cores. His sampling is typically conducted at a landscape scale, targeting ecologically and culturally important deltaic landscapes such as the Peace-Athabasca Delta and Slave Delta, as well as thermokarst landscapes like the Old Crow Flats. These areas are downstream of major energy projects, and they respond sensitively to climate-driven variations in river flow. Hall's work addresses local community and Indigenous concerns regarding the effects of climate warming on freshwater resources. He has an extensive background in applied aquatic ecology, paleolimnology, and multiple stressors affecting ecosystems, contributing significantly to the field.
