Selenium uptake, trophic transfer, and toxicity in boreal lake ecosystems
… particularly in mine and agriculture influenced areas of Canada and the United States. Due to the high site- and species-specificity of Se bioaccumulation, site-specific biodynamic modelling is the accepted approach to predict Se accumulation in aquatic systems, and fish tissue-based guidelines …

Dissolved organic matter dynamics in diverse freshwater ecosystems across Canada: long-term trends, transformations, and explanatory factors
… interannual variations in DOC and DON in 49 lakes across four eastern Canadian regions with a history of increases in DOC. I identified recent shifts in DOC patterns using LOESS smoothing and piecewise regression. I observed a stabilizing pattern or even a decrease in high acidification …
