Шаблон:Short description Diane Orihel is a freshwater ecologist. She is currently an Assistant Professor in Aquatic Ecotoxicology at Queen's University and Director of the QE3 Research Group.[1][2]
During her PhD, Orihel was dubbed “Lady of the Lakes” by science magazine Nature for being a leading voice in saving the Experimental Lakes Area, now known as the IISD-ELA.[3][4][5] After funding cuts by the Canadian government,[6] Orihel put writing her PhD thesis on hold to spearhead the Coalition to Save ELA for most of 2012.[2][3][4] Her efforts seemed to be in vain for months, and staff members had already started dismantling the site in spring 2013 when the IISD announced they had made a deal with the Ontario provincial government to keep the site open through the summer.[3] After this, the provinces of Ontario and Manitoba promised $2 million a year and $900,000 over six years respectively to keep the ELA running.[3]
In April 2014, the IISD announced that they had secured long-term funding for the ELA in cooperation with the Governments of Ontario and Canada.[7] Orihel has received a Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal for her efforts to save the ELA[8]
