\"\"<\/a>Principal Investigator<\/strong><\/p>\n

I have been a Professor in Biological Sciences at the University of Alberta since 1997 (Assistant Professor: 1997-2002; Associate Professor 2003-2005) and Full Professor (2005-present). I am also cross appointed to the School of Public Health and a Fellow of the National Institute of Nanotechnology. My research scope is broadly aimed in three different areas, environmental physiology of fishes, environmental toxicology, and watershed science. I have been fortunate to have support of numerous grants from Provincial and federal government agencies, industry partners and other partners (e.g. NGO\u2019s).<\/p>\n

My comparative physiology program examines the physiological mechanisms by which fishes (principally) adapt to different natural environmental stresses including high CO2, changes in water ionic composition and high environmental ammonia. This research occurs both here in Edmonton, in remote field locations and at Bamfield Marine Sciences Centre.<\/p>\n

My toxicology research program investigates the effects of municipal wastewater, hydraulic\u00a0fracturing fluids, pesticide and herbicides, oil sands process affected water and other wastewaters\u00a0and the effects of nanomaterials on fish and invertebrates. He is working directly with\u00a0Environment Canada and the OECD on devising appropriate guidelines for testing for\u00a0nanomaterials.<\/p>\n

My water management program works directly in collaboration with Dr. Faramarzi and our goal\u00a0is to use predictive forecasting of Alberta\u2019s water resources in response to both climate change\u00a0and increased agricultural, industrial and municipal growth.<\/p>\n
