Research
I am interested in environmental research that can be applied to better manage our resources. Some specific problems my students and I have been working on involve the biological degradation of contaminants and the relative risks of various pollutants. We have also studied the analytical chemistry of detecting pollutants, including ways to lower detection limits. I am also interested in using various bioassays to assess the toxic potential of pollutants. Finally, applying research results to better manage our natural resources, such as Wisconsin's surface and groundwaters, has always been a long-term goal.
