Projects

to support the study of urban storm water runoff and water samples from the Quinnipiac River along the Greater New Haven Area to characterize pollution from tire and road wear particles.

to support the study of biological impacts on fish physiology caused by microplastic pollution in the Quinnipiac River

to support the study of the impacts of invasive and native fauna on salt, brackish and freshwater riparian zones of the Quinnipiac River.

to support the study of bioaccumulation of heavy metals in Asian clams (Corbicula fluminea) collected from segments of the Quinnipiac River influenced by municipal wastewater treatment plant effluent discharges.

to support the study of edema in amphibians in the Quinnipiac River.

to support water quality monitoring along the Quinnipiac River from Hanover Pond through North Haven, and removal of trash along the banks of the Quinnipiac River in North Haven.

to support continued monitoring of sediment accretion and elevation change in the Quinnipiac marshes, and to support a marsh organ experiment to assess whether soil toxicity is contributing to marsh submergence

to support the study of several sites along the Quinnipiac River to determine whether endocrine disruptors are present and then to trace their source.

to support the study of the biodiversity of benthic algal communities and the potential for copper contamination in communities throughout the Quinnipiac River.

to support the study of the effects of endocrine disrupting chemicals in wild fish within the freshwater regions of the Quinnipiac River watershed.
