Seminar Series Fall 2022: Showcasing Members of the Cluster
December 8, 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 and soils?
Prof. Juan José Alava and his Master student Karly McMullen will each give 10-minute presentations on their ongoing microplastics research or ideas for research questions.
-
Prof. Juan José Alava: "Microplastics: Bioaccumulate or not Bioaccumulate? Research Progress with implications for Bioaccumulation Sience and Marine Plastic Pollution Management"
-
Karly McMullen (Master student, Juan José Alava's lab): "Microplastics in Galápagos seawater and diet items of the Galápagos Penguin and concerns from Ecuadorian Mangrove Communities"
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.
