The Arismendi Lab is a welcoming, diverse lab at OSU that participates in a wide variety of projects including unique research, public outreach, collaboration with other scientists, and interface between art and science. 

We aim to engage undergraduate researchers, students interested in pursuing advanced degrees, and scholars from both inside and outside of OSU. 

Research Goals

The overall goal of our research is to improve the understanding about the role of natural variability and human-related disturbances on freshwaters across multiple spatial and temporal scales. We use a combination of conceptual models, long-term empirical information, and data-driven modeling. Conceptual models provide a host of hypothetical relationships whereas observational data-driven modeling allows us to finely dissect complex and interacting processes that cannot otherwise be quantified. Through these multifaceted approaches, we hope to contribute a novel understanding of the functioning of highly complex systems.

 

Our research topics include:

  • Climate Change and Freshwater
  • Biological Invasions
  • Terrestrial-Aquatic Links
  • Diversity and Inclusion in Science
  • And many more!
