Funded Activity Summary

Does the timing and frequency of transient pollution events affect sessile marine invertebrates? Disturbances play a fundamental role in many coastal ecosystems, and understanding how they act is central to managing coastal areas. Humans are a major source of disturbances, especially through the controlled and accidental input of toxicants. Managing these inputs requires an understanding of how the timing and frequency of pollution events affect the animals exposed to these substances. I will use a new field dosing system to determine these relationships, using copper, a common pollutant, as a model. The results will provide a broader understanding of the role of disturbance and produce a predictive model applicable to other pollutants.
