Working with the The Saint John Harbour – Environmental Monitoring Partnership, a research team led by Dr. Allen Curry is looking at potential sentinel species of fish and other aspects related to the monitoring of fish.
This project seeks to build on the knowledge produced by two previously completed studies. With the realization that traditional linear models do not work well at transferring scientific knowledge, there is an opportunity to develop knowledge applications which recognize the social dimensions of science in watershed management.
This project evaluated a set of techniques to characterize and assess the potential effects of municipal wastewater effluent on aquatic organisms at two sites in Saskatchewan.
This study examined the presence and effects of emerging chemicals in the St. Lawrence River, including whether these chemicals were compromising the endocrine systems of wild fish.
This project focused on testing a suite of tools at three sites in the Grand River watershed in Southern Ontario to inform and support decision-makers and practitioners regarding the risks that various wastewater treatment options pose to aquatic ecosystems.
The research team will investigate whether ingredients from consumer goods, ranging from food products to textiles, in waste biosolids pose an incremental risk to the environment or human health as a result of agricultural application.
This project proposes to develop a Geographic Information System (GIS) -based integrated modeling interface to evaluate Best Management Practices in the Gully Creek watershed to address this opportunity.
The project team will investigate the impacts of alkaline stabilization on the fate and transport of Emerging Substances of Concern in agricultural soils, plant biomass and drainage water.
