DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2017.11.043
Abstract: Determining impacts of emerging contaminants is difficult due to the different concentrations of mixtures of these chemicals over a landscape. Assessment approaches need to account for absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion of the chemicals in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ecolmodel.2019.108920
Abstract: Abstract Invasive dreissenid mussels have successfully established dense population at nearshore and mid-depth regions, and significantly altered the ecosystem and food web dynamics in Lake Michigan. In this work, we used a high-resolution hydrodynamic-biogeochemical model… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jglr.2017.09.002
Abstract: Abstract Elevated lake levels in the Lake Michigan-Huron basin have resulted in erosion at the bases of coastal bluffs composed of unconsolidated glacial deposits. Base erosion leads to a general steepening of the bluff face… read more here.
