Postdoctoral Fellow
University of Alberta, Edmonton, AB, Canada
Aquatic biotas are continuously exposed to multiple stressors, whether those be chemical or abiotic (for example acidity). Although this understanding of the presence of multiple stressors is common knowledge, the vast amount of research focuses on individual stressors. Additionally, most regulatory efforts are focused on effects based on single stressors in aquatic systems. This presentation will focus on two studies – a field-based sediment ecological risk assessment in mining areas of Tasmania and a laboratory ecotoxicological assessment of Alberta hydraulic fracturing flowback and produced water. This presentation will highlight the complexity of conducting ecological risk assessments in environmental matrices with multiple stressors.
Additionally, Tyler is part of a diverse group in Greg Goss's laboratory at the University of Alberta. Dr. Goss's research program is aimed in three different but integrative areas including environmental physiology of fishes, environmental toxicology, and watershed science. Tyler will discuss some of the recent developments and work being conducted in the lab in these areas.
Tyler received his Master's of Science from Southern Illinois University, Carbondale and received his PhD from the University of Melbourne. Tyler has worked internationally in both the academic and consulting spheres. Tyler's main interests are sediment toxicology and ecological risk assessment. Tyler currently is a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Alberta studying the effects of hydraulic fracturing.
