Overview
Research
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.
My toxicology
research program investigates the effects of municipal wastewater,
hydraulic fracturing fluids, pesticide and herbicides, process affected water
and other wastewaters and the effects of nanomaterials on fish and
invertebrates.
My watershed science
program works directly in collaboration with Dr. Faramarzi and our goal is
to use predictive forecasting of Alberta’s water resources in response to both
climate change and increased agricultural, industrial and municipal growth. We
also work with companies to improve environmental performance of storm water
management systems.

Courses
BIOL 445 - Current Topics in Animal and Cell Physiology
Survey, discussion and evaluation of literature dealing with current advances and selected topics in animal and cell physiology. Prerequisite: ZOOL 340 or 342 or 343, or PHYSL 372 and consent of instructor. Credit may be obtained more than once. Offered in alternate years.
BIOL 545 - Advanced Topics in Animal and Cell Physiology
Survey, discussion and evaluation of literature dealing with current advances and selected topics in animal and cell physiology. Credit may be obtained more than once. Discussions are the same as for BIOL 445, but with additional assignments and evaluation appropriate to graduate studies. Enrolment of students by consent of instructor. Offered in alternate years.
ZOOL 242 - Animal Physiology II: Intercellular Communication
Endocrinology, immunology and neural, sensory, motor, and reproductive physiology. Examples from invertebrates and vertebrates. Prerequisite: BIOL 107 or SCI 100. This course may not be taken for credit if credit has been obtained in PHYSL 210 or 214.
ZOOL 344 - Laboratory Exercises in Animal Physiology
Physiological topics are reinforced in experimental lab exercises. Labs include computer simulations, artificial tissue models and animal models. Prerequisite: ZOOL 241 or 242 or PHYSL 210 or 212 or 214.
