Current Research Activities

• Establishing appropriate toxicity testing protocols for metal nanoparticles (used in manufacturing) in natural waters
• Evaluating the role of water chemistry in altering the toxicity of nanomaterials from that predicted in synthetic waters
• Investigating the mechanisms of nanoparticle toxicity
• The effects of fluctuating copper exposure to marine organisms
• The uptake and elimination of copper in marine algae and the effects on cell ultra-structure
• Sources and behaviour of metal contaminants in marine and estuarine systems
• The preparation of metal-spiked sediments for whole-sediment toxicity testing
• Acid sulfate soils in the Murray River
