About

Dr. Alena Gsell is an Assistant Professor at Leiden University in the Netherlands. Her research focuses on aquatic ecosystems, particularly the interactions between zoosporic parasites and primary producers, as well as the ecological impacts of environmental changes on freshwater biodiversity. Recent publications include studies on the phenology of epiphyton, cyanobacterial blooms awareness, and the effects of pollutants on planktonic interactions. Dr. Gsell's work emphasizes the importance of understanding complex ecological dynamics in the face of global change.
