Research Interests
My area of research is metal bioaccumulation and effects in
aquatic organisms. Specific areas of study include biotic
and abiotic factors affecting temporal and spatial variation
in metal bioaccumulation, species-specific bioaccumulation
strategies, intracellular metal partitioning and speciation,
metal detoxification mechanisms, toxicological effects of
bioaccumulated metal on individuals and populations, bioavailability
of metals associated with mine wastes, and development of
aquatic invertebrates as biological monitors.
