| Nathan Hogman, BSc | August 19, 2022 - 10:47am | |
| Scott Borden, BSc | August 19, 2022 - 10:26am |
Development of novel ionization strategies for the analysis of small molecules in environmental and biological samples. Scott's current research involves direct fatty acid measurement strategies by using CP-MIMS with modified donor phases and the development of direct opioid measurement methods by PS-MS. |
| Kyle Duncan, PhD | August 19, 2022 - 10:46am |
Development of rapid screening techniques for naphthenic acids and microcystins using direct sampling membrane introduction mass spectrometry. Kyle is now a Post Doctoral Fellow at Uppsala University in Sweden. |
| Sarah Jones | August 19, 2022 - 10:47am | |
| Nick Davey, PhD | August 19, 2022 - 10:06am |
Development of new tools for studying the chemistry of the atmosphere, using mobilized mass spectrometers to capture both spatial and temporal variability. Mass spectrometry is employed to quantify a suite of volatile and semi-volatile organic compounds at levels ranging from hundreds of parts per trillion to parts per billion. These extremely sensitive sensors can be used to identify point sources of pollution, map chemical concentration on regional scales, and monitor accidental chemical release into the environment. |
| Greg Vandergrift, BSc | August 19, 2022 - 10:24am |
Greg's research involves the development of CP-MIMS using direct liquid EI as a strategy for direct, trace level PAH monitoring, including direct soil measurement strategies. He was also instrumental in the early development of PS-MS methodologies for direct fentanyl analysis in urine and other complex samples. |
| Larissa Richards, BSc | August 19, 2022 - 10:24am |
Development of chemometric techniques for chemical fingerprinting of contaminated air samples for source identification and apportionment. |
| Dr. Chris Gill, P. Chem. | August 19, 2022 - 9:55am |
Dr. Chris Gill is Professor of Chemistry, an active adjunct faculty at three other institutions, and has specific expertise in analytical instrumentation development, laser spectroscopy and mass spectrometry (MS). His research interests include the development of ultra-trace, direct MS methods, including Membrane Introduction Mass Spectrometry (MIMS) and paper spray mass spectrometry (PS-MS), for in situ and rapid measurements of trace analytes in complex environmental and bioanalytical samples. |
| Dr. Erik Krogh, P. Chem | August 19, 2022 - 9:54am |
My research program addresses important environmental chemistry questions using emerging mass spectrometry (MS) techniques that enable the direct and continuous measurement of molecular determinants of environmental and human health. |

| Lake Monitoring | March 5, 2019 - 10:07am |
Today, October 16th, 2016 was officially the last day of our lake monitoring project that has been underway over the last twelve weeks. I personally feel very fortunate to have been able to be a part of this project over the summer, which has been funded by the Vancouver Island University Research and Awards committee. |
| Elder College | March 5, 2019 - 10:06am |
On Friday September 30th MABRRI student research assistants Kayla Harris and Ryan Frederickson presented to a full class of ElderCollege students in Parksville, teaching them all about the Mount Arrowsmith Biosphere Region Research Institute and some of the projects that we have been closely involved with. While there were many projects to choose from we chose to highlight a handful of projects with significant field components and share our experiences with the class. |

| Parksville StreamKeepers Course | August 26, 2024 - 3:07pm |
During the weekend of September 9th-11th MABRRI student researchers, Ashley Van Acken, Kayla Harris and Ryan Frederickson, participated in a StreamKeepers Course facilitated by Michele Jones and the Mid Vancouver Island Habitat Enhancement Society. The course was designed to evaluate the health of fish bearing streams to ensure spawning salmon had an adequate ecosystem to lay their fry. During our course we learned about the various types of insect species that live in our streams. |
| Introducing MABRRI's 2016 Summer Research Team | March 5, 2019 - 12:00pm |
MABRRI has hired 6 summer Research Assistants that will be working alongside Research Coordinator Graham Sakaki and Assistant Coordinator Sarah Lumley from April - August on various projects in the MABR this summer. These friendly faces are Nelson Lovestrom, Ashley Van Acken, Mike Anderson, Kayla Harris, Amanda Jefferies, and Ryan Frederickson. |
