Professor Stockwell received his doctorate from the University of Toronto in 1996, followed by post-doctoral associate positions at Colorado State University and Michigan State University. He served as the station chief at the USGS Lake Superior Biological Station in Ashland, Wisconsin, from 2004-2007 and was a pelagic ecologist at the Gulf of Maine Research Institute in Portland, Maine prior to joining the University of Vermont. Dr. Stockwell studies the migration behavior of aquatic invertebrates and its consequences for food web structure and function, the influence of climate change on lake systems with a focus on winter ecology, and the impacts of disturbance events on limnological processes.
