Course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) increase student access to high impact research experiences. CUREs engage students in the scientific process by learning how to pose scientific questions, develop hypotheses, and generate data to test them. Environmental DNA (eDNA) is a growing field of research that is gaining accessibility t...
It is generally understood that climate change is both a threat to health and a complex problem that requires accordingly complex solutions. In this commentary piece, I discuss the causes for and health implications of harmful algal blooms (HABs). I describe the effects that these blooms have on communities across Canada, especially in the Northern...
Brook trout are a species of conservation concern in Southwestern Ontario, Canada, and effective monitoring of their populations is crucial for making informed management decisions. Electrofishing is a traditional, yet invasive, method that allows for fish abundance estimation. Environmental DNA (eDNA) is an emerging molecular tool that presents a...
Background
Recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) are an essential component of sustainable inland seafood production. Still, nutrient removal from these systems can result in substantial environmental problems, or present a major cost factor with few added value options. In this study, an innovative and energy-efficient algae based nutrient remov...
Microalgae pose major problems for drinking water treatment processes either through membrane fouling or through blooming events in source water during the summer months. Disinfection treatments such as chlorination and UV-C treatment of drinking water are designed to remove microorganisms including microalgae and bacteria. In order to treat water...
