Overview

My research focuses on the freshwater environment and water pollution with a special interest in water and sediment toxicity. Many of my research projects are done in collaboration with various industries and mines. Water and sediment toxicity form an integral link between the chemical aspects of the water environment and any possible effects thereof on the rest of the food chain.
