Projects

to support to the study of the thermal profile of the Quinnipiac River in response to climate change.

to support the study of microplastics in storm run-off to tributaries in the Quinnipiac River watershed.

to support the monitoring of marsh surface elevations as well as the salinity and vegetation in one lobe of the marsh, and to support measurement of soil salinity and vegetation cover in marsh-bordering areas at the Quinnipiac Meadows Preserve.

to support the study of the prevalence, concentration, and physical characteristics of microplastics in water and sediment samples throughout the lower Quinnipiac River and New Haven Harbor, and their fish communities.

to support the study of the prevalence of the ulvoid bloom in the New Haven Harbor.

to support monitoring, identifying and quantifying known pollutants from industrial outflows along the Quinnipiac River, specifically industrial areas in Wallingford and North Haven.

to support the study of pH variations and the resulting changes in copper's bioavailability and toxicity in the Quinnipiac River.

to support measurements of sediment accretion, elevation change, water level, salinity, and belowground production in the Quinnipiac marshes.

to support a study to look for evidence of the deleterious effects of endocrine disrupting chemicals in killifish within the lower Quinnipiac River.
