My research interests are in the general area of environmental toxicology with
emphasis on the influence of physical factors on contaminant transfer from
sediment into aquatic foodchains. I am also interested in factors which affect
trophic transfer and in relating tissue levels of contaminants with the myriad
of biological effects that they produce. Although not an insect, alien species
such as the zebra mussel, has become a focus of my research with emphasis on
control methods as well as their role in contaminant cycling. When not busy in
the laboratory, I enjoy sharing my living space with four children and a large
number of long-eared equines.
