Biogeochemistry of metals in the aquatic environment: current research topics include elements of analytical chemistry (development and refinement of methods to determine metal speciation), geochemistry (identification of factors controlling metal speciation in natural waters) and ecotoxicology (development of predictive models relating the biological response elicited by a metal to its speciation in the external medium). Metals of current interest include Al, Ag, Mn, Cd, Hg and Zn; target organisms include freshwater algae, rooted aquatic plants, benthic invertebrates, and fish. The biological responses of interest are metal bioaccumulation within the target organism, and the attendant changes in physiology and growth.
