Public Hybrid Lecture

Human activity has both direct and indirect effects on our environment. Water bodies are no exception. The pollution of our waters with chemicals is one example of human influence. Measurement methods for detecting and quantifying their concentration have become increasingly sensitive in recent years. But what do these concentrations mean for organisms living in and around these ecosystems? We will address this question in this lecture.
