New Book Publication!

 

Edited by Dr. Nick Hill, Sarah Hines, and Dr. Nelson O'Driscoll, this book is part of the Springer Nature series Environmental Contamination Remediation and Management. The book contains 17 Chapters and a long list of authors many of which are affiliated with Acadia University (27 authors from Acadia University). In the department of E&ES Dr. Van Rooyen and Dr. Spooner have a chapter on the Geological History and Ecosystems Evolution at the site.  This collective effort has not only supported the recovery of the Eastern Mountain Avens but has also contributed to a broader understanding of wetland restoration. Over the decade this project has been active it has created meaningful research opportunities for students. We estimate 50+ Acadia students have been engaged in research connected to the restoration work on Brier Island to date.
