--001a11c2eb80bc864404ff914a1c Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 http://www2.acadiau.ca/acadia-news-reader/items/federal-government-announces-funding-for-acadia-researchers.html Dr. O'Driscoll is receiving approximately $45,000 to update equipment used to provide state-of-the-art analysis of mercury contaminants in air, water, soils and organisms. His research focuses on methylmercury, the most dangerous form of the element, which is absorbed by plants and animals and passed along the food chain. Dr. O'Driscoll's research to understand why some ecosystems are susceptible to mercury will lead to better protection and preventative measures to ensure the health and well-being of Canadians. Dr. Taylor is currently studying the movement behaviours of blackpoll warblers in Nova Scotia from the end of their breeding season through to the end of their migratory period. Through the use of small radio transmitters and automated receiver stations, Dr. Taylor's five-year, $135,000 project will follow the birds' flight paths to identify the causes of particular movement patterns with research applications ranging from wildlife ecology to wildlife conservation and management. In addition, approximately $100,000 will be made available to graduate students through research scholarships. -- James Churchill Kentville, Nova Scotia jameslchurchill@gmail.com (902) 681-2374 --001a11c2eb80bc864404ff914a1c Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <div dir=3D"ltr"><a href=3D"http://www2.acadiau.ca/acadia-news-reader/items= /federal-government-announces-funding-for-acadia-researchers.html">http://w= ww2.acadiau.ca/acadia-news-reader/items/federal-government-announces-fundin= g-for-acadia-researchers.html</a><br clear=3D"all"> <div><br></div><div><span style=3D"color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:Tahoma,V= erdana,sans-serif;font-size:12px;letter-spacing:0.7200000286102295px">Dr. O= ’Driscoll is receiving approximately $45,000 to update equipment used= to provide state-of-the-art analysis of mercury contaminants in air, water= , soils and organisms.
