Toxic Health Hazards (EFB 400 600)
Upper level undergraduate/graduate offering. Introduction to principles of toxicology affecting human health, and to the scientific basis for regulations and personal decisions about toxic health hazards. A core course for SUNY ESF's Environmental Health major.
Adaptive Peaks Seminar (EFB 797)
Graduate student seminar. Introduction to diverse research topics through internal and visiting speakers, and on how to develop presentation and networking skills.
Tracers in Aquatic Ecosystems (EFB 797)
Graduate student seminar. Explores the range of ways that food webs are described in aquatic ecosystems (i.e., via stable isotope analysis of light elements (H, C, O, N, S), fatty acids, stable isotopes of fatty acids) and ways that nutrients and metals are used as tracers to track animal movement and/or contaminant inputs into fresh- and marine waters
Metal Stable Isotopes (EFB 797)
Graduate student seminar. Introduction to the most important concepts of mass-dependent and mass-independent metal stable isotope fractionation. A particular focus will be on a discussion of processes (e.g., redox transformations, biological cycling) that are able to induce mercury metal stable isotope fractionation in nature. Previous offering.
Co-led courses
Corals, Conservation, and Colonialism (EFB 496) with Dr. Josh Drew (SUNY ESF)
Interrelationships among tropical marine ecosystems (i.e., corals, mangroves, and sea grasses), and the connections among these ecosystems and the human societies they support. Includes a week-long field trip to Vieques, Puerto Rico and laboratory analytical experience in sample preparation for trace metal analyses.
