Multiple Contaminants in the Environment, U.S. Supported the preparation of a technical review of the literature on contaminants in fish and a derivation of formulas that allow accurate conversion of contaminant concentrations between fish tissue types.
Confidential Site, Ohio Led research task to identify and compile publicly available information related to key focus areas of a natural resource damage claim in northeast Ohio. Information summaries and analyses will be used to support an expert report.

Planning and Permitting

Effects of Proposed Desalination Plant on Estuarine Fish Populations, Texas Provided analytical support for a desalination plant permit application by tabulating sediment data and calculating hazard quotients protective of the benthic invertebrate community using published state and federal toxicity benchmarks.

Environmental Analytics

Analytics for Mesocosm Study, Confidential Location Supporting a team using AQUATOX© to model and analyze ecosystem-level effects of a specific herbicide in mesocosms. Analytical support includes data compilation and processing.
