These have involved integrated chemical assays of water column, stream sediments, floodplain soils, and tissue residues in resident biota; ecological assessments; and on-site toxicological monitoring of point source and stream waters. Areas of specialization include environmental toxicology, transport and fate of environmental pollutants, and risk assessment.</div> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
