RESEARCH

We study a wide variety of topics, from research to understand the basics of olfactory physiology to how contaminants impair olfaction and related behaviours, to how contaminants affect aquatic environments in general. See below for a listing of all of Dr. Dew's publications as well as a link to his Google Scholar page.
