(April 22, 2020) RIT's press release for my paper led by Ph.D. student Juliette Daily) that produced the first estimates of plastic pollution in the water column and deposited on the bottom of Lake Erie. Some links to stories and radio interviews about our study are below and an RIT produced video about our work can be seen on the link to the left.

(July 1, 2019) Wired discussed the start of our project at the IISD Experimental Lakes Area studying the presence and effects of plastic pollution in lakes.

(December 19, 2016) RIT's press release for my paper (with Eric Hittigner at RIT) that produced the first estimates of plastic pollution entering into and floating in the Great Lakes. We estimate that around 10,000 metric tons of plastic enter the Great Lakes each year and several tons of small plastic particles are floating in the Lakes. A preprint of the paper can be found here and video of our simulations can be found under the Projcets/Data tab.
