Greigโ€™s research uses freshwater ecosystems to advance understanding of community ecology, environmental gradients, and global change. Specifically, his research focuses on three key questions: How do disturbances influence community structure and dynamics? How do local stresses modify the effects of global change on ecosystems? What are the mechanisms underlying the effects of temperature changes on food webs? Visit Greig’s biography to learn more.

A bubble chart demonstrating a 50% research 50% teaching appointment split.
Greig balances time between teaching (50%) courses about professionalism in biology, and special seminars in ecology and environmental sciences, and research (50%) on community ecology, environmental gradients, global change, aquatic ecology, and freshwater invertebrates.
