Phone: (709) 637-6200 ext 6467
Email: cliu@grenfell.mun.ca Research Interests: My research interest is in the field of chemistry of materials and its environmental and energy applications. My research projects include: (1) developing novel metal-organic framework structures as energy storage and distribution devices. (2) developing environmentally friendly nano-scaled fire-retardant additives. (3) template-effect of bio-molecules in the synthesis of nano-particles.

| | Don-Roger Parkinson, Associate Professor, Environmental Science, B.Sc. (Brock), Ph.D. (London) Office: AS237
Phone: (709) 637-6200 ext 6482
Email: dparkins@grenfell.mun.ca Research Interests: Dr. Parkinson's research interests are in two areas: 1) the extraction of trace level metals, vocs and contaminants from aquatic systems, and 2) the study of metal binding through preparation and characterization of novel organophosphorus ligands. Both chemistries emphasize the use and development of analytical spectroscopy (GC/MS, nD-NMR, FTIR) and SPME-hyphenated techniques. |  |

Phone: (709) 637-6246
Email: iwarkent@grenfell.mun.ca Research Interests: I am interested in how the configuration and composition of landscapes influence the movement and population dynamics of forest birds. Most recently, I have been studying the ability of individuals to move through and utilize forested areas which have been modified through timber harvest as they seek out resources for the breeding and postfledging phases. As habitat is lost or degraded through human activities such as logging, the landscape becomes more fragmented, the capacity to move in search of critical resources is constrained, and species may disappear from these areas. |  |
