RESEARCH INTERESTS
For the past nineteen years,
I have been involved in the stewardship of water resources in the Great
Lakes Region. Our research work has ranged from watershed protection to
exotic species invasions and fate.
The aquatic research program includes an analytical water quality laboratory
working on watershed protection, water quality analysis, exotic species
detection and impact, fisheries, primary productivity, aquatic sampling,
toxics analysis (mirex, photomirex, PCB's, DDT's, atrazine, etc.) in various
matrices (water, fish tissue, human milk, sediment and air), secondary
school environmental education enhancement, computer database management,
eutrophication studies and plankton assessment and water quality studies
on long term data sets in the Great Lakes.
I also serve as a Co-Technical Director and Quality Assurance Officer
of a State and Nationally Certified water quality laboratory housed here
at SUNY Brockport.
