Workshop
Seminar Series Fall 2022: Showcasing Members of the Cluster
October 27, 2022, 10:30 am to 11:30 am
THEME 1 AQUATIC SYSTEMS: How do we investigate the environmental, social and economic impacts of MPs pollution in aquatic systems?
Tao Huan (Huan Group), Morgan Griffith (Francois Group), Aurelio Morales (Häfeli Group) will each give 10-minute presentations on their ongoing microplastics research or ideas for research questions.
- Prof. Tao Huan "Interrogating the Change of Zooplankton Metabolome under Microplastics Exposure
- Morgan Griffith (MSc student, Prof. Roger Francois lab) "Teaching old carbon new tricks... using the depletion of 14C in particulate organic matter as a metric for microplastic pollution"
- Aurelio Morales (MSc student, Prof. Urs Häfeli lab) "Designing and preparing 13C labelled MPs particles and fibers to investigate microbial degradation of MPs"
Background:
As we have a number of new members, and a number of new projects amongst long-term members, the UBC Cluster for Microplastics, Health and the Environment is running a Seminar Series, where we will showcase members of the cluster and their research.
The idea is to have 10 minutes presentations by four different labs every time we meet, to discuss microplastics research being conducted, or any ideas on research questions different labs would like to address.
