2016 Harry Hann Research Seminar in Ornithology
Dr. David Evers will provide details about known global sources of mercury, the patterns of mercury in biota, and how countries may decide about how to monitor mercury in biota. He will share a description of proposed metrics for evaluating the effectiveness of the Treaty that are based on a recently published manuscript in the journal Science of the Total Environment.
Dr. David Evers is an ecotoxicologist with 26 years’ field experience with contaminant monitoring research, especially those focused on mercury and oil spills. He is Executive Director, Founder and Chief Scientist of Biodiversity Research Institute (BRI). Evers has been on many international project teams through the United Nations Environment Programme, United Nations Industrial Development Organization, the International Council on Mercury as a Global Pollutant and conservation NGOs. He is a graduate of Michigan State Unviersity (B.S.), Western Michigan University (M.S.) and the University of Minnesota (Ph.D.).
This event is free and open to the public.
