Aquatic/ice chemistry: Tara Kahan measure reaction rates of organic pollutants associated with the use of fossil fuels, such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and BTEX (benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylenes) in liquid water and in ice. She also investigates physical and chemical properties of water and ice samples, and relate these properties to pollutant reactivity. This work will improve predictions of pollutant fate in surface waters and snow-covered regions, and may lead to evidence-based policy such as pollutant emission regulations or remediation strategies. |

Discovering Sustainable Plant Disease Treatments: In our group we are using bioorganic, biochemical and biological techniques to understand economically important diseases of crucifers, namelyoilseeds such as canola, rapeseed, and mustard, vegetables such asrutabaga, broccoli, and turnip, and condiments such as radish andwasabi. In addition, a particular effort to discover wild species displaying unique defense pathways is underway. We are focusing on the interactions of these plants with significant fungal pathogens such as blackleg, black spot, root rot, stem rot, grey mould and white rust |
