“I am a MSc student working under the supervision of Dr. Jesse Vermaire<\/a> (Carleton University) and Dr. Jennifer Provencher<\/a> (Environment and Climate Change Canada). I completed my Bachelors degree in Geography at the University of the Fraser Valley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My current research is focused on assessing the concentrations and drivers of microplastics in environmental systems. I am specifically looking at microplastics in water and sediment from the Canadian Arctic, including from Qikiqtarjuaq (Nunavut), Iqaluit (Nunavut) and Herschel Island (Yukon). I am also looking at how Arctic seabirds may be acting as vectors for transporting microplastics to terrestrial environments via their guano. I recently completed another project looking at whether seals from the eastern Canadian Arctic are retaining plastics in their stomachs”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
