Ivo Roessink

Ivo Roessink is a WIMEK Researcher in Environmental Risk Assessment at Wageningen University & Research. His work focuses on ecotoxicology, pesticide impacts, and invasive species in aquatic ecosystems. He leads projects on chemical risk assessment, climate change interactions, and pharmaceutical effects. Recent research includes studies on heatwaves' effects on freshwater ecosystems, pharmaceutical impacts, and invasive crayfish dynamics. He co-supervises PhD candidates and contributes to datasets on honeybee genetics and pesticide sensitivity. Roessink actively participates in workshops and media discussions on invasive species management and environmental policy.

His research interests span ecotoxicology, environmental risk assessment, and aquatic ecosystem resilience. Key projects include evaluating pesticide drift risks, sublethal effects of psychotropics, and species sensitivity distributions. He collaborates internationally on studies involving honeybee mitochondrial diversity and crayfish population dynamics. Roessink's work bridges laboratory experiments with field applications, emphasizing real-world ecological impacts.

Recent articles highlight his focus on chemical- vs. effect-based risk assessments, mesocosm studies of pharmaceuticals, and invasive species' climate amplification roles. He advises on projects addressing both terrestrial and aquatic non-target organisms, advocating for integrated ecological monitoring. Media contributions reflect his role as an expert on invasive species and environmental contaminants.
