Our research investigates biogeochemical processes and the bioavailability and toxicity of contaminants and natural stressors in aquatic ecosystems.

François-Étienne et al. reveal that fish survival in acidic Amazonian blackwaters depends on the colonization of their gills by endogenous blackwater Betaproteobacteria.

Wondering how best to assess peatland condition? Then tune into Associate Professor Ewen Silvester's talk on peatland regulation of headwater stream water quality as a measure of peatland condition #AFSS2022 @AusFreshwater Thursday 11.40am

[Biogeochem_Ecotox_Group @EcotoxGroup]

Check out the great work done by @alana_cormican #AFSS2022 @AusFreshwater for her honours exploring the realised thermal niches of Odonata and how this is predicted to change under climate change Tuesday at 1.50pm

[Biogeochem_Ecotox_Group @EcotoxGroup]

Come check out our students presentations @AusFreshwater #AFSS2022. Hear how tributary inflows restore DOM dynamics in regulated systems: Thurs 2.40pm, how DOM affects phytoplankton: poster 153; how biofilms respond to DOM: poster 158; legacy effects of gold mining: poster 157

EHH What's up DOC? Don't miss out on our group leader @aleicia_holland taking you down the rabbit hole of all things dissolved organic carbon #AFSS2021 #Intecol2021 11.45am AEST

[Biogeochem_Ecotox_Group @EcotoxGroup]

While your at it @#SETACAU2021 Check out @Manisha36424073 presentation within the Omics session 4.30-5.30 pm and learn how 1-2 ug/L of Cu alters the amino acid and proteome of the freshwater alga Chlorella sp. @aleicia_holland

[Biogeochem_Ecotox_Group @EcotoxGroup]

Today at #SETACAU2021 come listen to PhD student Gabriella Macoustra present her research around influence of DOM on metal mixtures (Cu & Ni) within the Water Quality Guidelines, Oil &Gas, Risk Assessment session 10.30am -12.30pm. @aleicia_holland @DarrenKoppel

[Biogeochem_Ecotox_Group @EcotoxGroup]

While attending #SETACAU2021 today check out the poster session and poster #173 by our honours student Anthony Evans exploring the toxicity of Zinc in Australian natural waters in the quest to validate bioavailability models in Australian waters. @GwilymPrice @aleicia_holland

[Biogeochem_Ecotox_Group @EcotoxGroup]

Congrats to our honours student @alana_cormican on receiving the City of Wodonga Prize for Sustainability and the Environment, receiving first class honours for her work on the thermal tolerances of dragonflies and securing a PhD scholarship with @DarrenGiling.

[Biogeochem_Ecotox_Group @EcotoxGroup]

Congratulations to Dr Manisha Shakya on having your PhD "Biomolecular Responses of Freshwater Organisms to Environmental Stressors" conferred on the same day you move to University of New England to start a new postdoc position @WaterUNE. We were so lucky to have you in our group

[Biogeochem_Ecotox_Group @EcotoxGroup]

Get in quick to register to attend the 11th INTECOL Wetlands/AFSS joint Conference and hear from one of our group leaders @aleicia_holland on the role of DOM in aquatic ecosystems and a number of our students @AusFreshwater @INTECOL_Wetland https://t.co/h3MNqYURO9

Congratulations to PhD student @GwilymPrice on receiving an Australian Wildlife Society Wildlife Ecology Scholarship to investigate mechanisms behind metal toxicity to freshwater algae. We can't wait to share the interesting results from this work!

[Gwilym Price @GwilymPrice]

Super stoked to have been awarded the Australian Wildlife Society Wildlife Ecology Scholarship at UTS! The grant will help fund my work looking into mechanisms of metal toxicity to microalgae using omics techniques like proteomics and metabolomics! Very excited for this work :)
