| Details: | Chris Wilson joined the IRREC Faculty in 1999 and is responsible for research and extension programs relating to the interface of agriculture with the environment. He is currently developing research and extension programs that focus on environmental risk identification and mitigation associated with nutrient and pesticide use within the Indian River Lagoon and St. Lucie Estuary drainage basins. His current areas of emphasis include: characterization of agrichemical loadings in surface water from different land uses, bioremediation/ phytoremediation of agrichemicals in contaminated surface water, characterization of pesticide impacts on aquatic resources, and evaluation of the environmental benefits of certain best management practices. | |
