Jules Blais
Jules Blais is Assistant Professor of Biology at the University of
Ottawa. His work focuses on identifying the consequences of anthropogenic
stressors on natural systems. The main emphasis is on the sources,
pathways and fate of persistent pollutants such as organochlorine
pesticides, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and trace metals in aquatic
environments. He is looking at the potential for ecosystems in cold
climates to retain and biomagnify semi-volatile organochlorine compounds
like PCBs and pesticides. Methods include a combination of field analysis
and modeling approaches, and encompass a range of biological and chemical
limnology, land-water interactions, biogeochemical cycles, and water
quality issues.
