My overall research program focuses on understanding the natural biogeochemical cycling of elements in the environment, and the human disruptions of these cycles. For the past 25 years, I have been a collaborator in whole-ecosystem experimentation at the Experimental Lakes Area in northwestern Ontario, examining the environmental impacts of acid rain, reservoir creation, and mercury emissions. Recently we began determining why some high and sub Arctic marine animals and freshwater fishes contain concentrations of monomethyl mercury (an organic and toxic form of mercury) high enough to cause exposure risks to northern peoples consuming them as traditional foods.
