David William Schindler, OC AOE FRSC FRS, (August 3, 1940 – March 4, 2021) was an American/Canadian limnologist.[2] He held the Killam Memorial Chair and was Professor of Ecology in the Department of Biological Sciences at the University of Alberta in Edmonton, Alberta.[3][4] He was notable for "innovative large-scale experiments" on whole lakes at the Experimental Lakes Area (ELA)[5] which proved that "phosphorus controls the eutrophication (excessive algal blooms) in temperate lakes [6] leading to the banning of phosphates in detergents. He was also known for his research on acid rain.[6][7] In 1989, Schindler moved from the ELA to continue his research at the University of Alberta in Edmonton, with studies into fresh water shortages and the effects of climate disruption on Canada's alpine and northern boreal ecosystems.[6] Schindler's research had earned him numerous national and international awards, including the Gerhard Herzberg Gold Medal, the First Stockholm Water Prize (1991)[8][9]: 5  the Volvo Environment Prize (1998),[10] and the Tyler Prize for Environmental Achievement (2006).[6]
