About Me
Welcome! My name is Sean Bertalot and I am a master's student under Dr. Sarah Collins in the Aquatic Ecosystem Ecology Lab at the University of Wyoming.
Growing up in Wisconsin, I was fortunate enough to have abundant access to incredible freshwater resources. The lakes, rivers, and streams of my home state defined my childhood, and many of my favorite pass times revolved around them. These experiences developed into a deep desire to learn more about these unique ecosystems and a passion to conserve them for future generations to enjoy.
At the University of Wisconsin - Madison, I was involved with the research being conducted at the Center for Limnology. There, I worked on a project examining how extreme precipitation events impacted whole lake dynamics. I also conducted independent research looking into merging spatial sampling methods for measuring algal blooms in Lake Mendota.
Now at the University of Wyoming, I am joining the Wyoming Anticipating Climate Transitions (WY-ACT), which broadly aims to help Wyoming communities anticipate and adapt to climate change impacts on water. Within this, I hope to better understand the drivers of primary productivity within Jackson Lake in Teton County, Wyoming.
Outside of research, I love music and am an avid home cook. I also thoroughly enjoy any activity that gets me outside, especially skiing, running, and hiking.
