Field Sampling
- Macroinvertebrate, algae, sediment and water sampling
- Electroshocking (backpack generator and boat based techniques)
- Site assessment of physical habitat measures on
land and water
- Collect fish tissue for DNA and chemical analysis
- Bile collection for biomarker analysis
- Wetland rapid bioassessment methods
Taxonomy/Sample Processing
- Macroinvertebrateand fish identification to lowest possible taxon
- Algal identification to lowest possible taxon, and cell biovolume of phytoplankton and periphyton
- Macroinvertebrate sorting and processing
- Algal biomass, chlorophyll analysis, alkaline phosphatase activity, data analysis and reporting of soft algae and diatoms
Molecular Ecology
- Estimating genetic diversity
- Estimating environmental stress in aquatic populations
Water Quality Analysis
- Organic analysis (PCBs, pesticides and trace analysis of estrogen)
- Elemental analysis (mercury, lead, arsenic, etc.)
- Segmented flow analysis (water nutrient chemistry)
GIS/Remote Sensing
- Monitoring water quality (turbidity, chlorophyll-a and nutrients) using spatial imagery
- Developing trends analysis and forecasting models from historical records (images and geographical data)
- Quantify effects of land use or effluent on water quality
- Identify point and non-point sources of pollution using geographical data and imagery
- Environmental monitoring using remote sensing techniques
