Based in Sydney, Australia, Dr. Tom Cresswell serves as an isotope ecologist at the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO), studying the interaction between environmental pollution and living organisms using radioisotope tracers. At this year’s International Conference on Mercury as a Global Pollutant (ICMGP), which will be held virtually from 24th to 29th July and for which registration is now open, Dr. Cresswell will co-host a technical session to showcase research from the Southern hemisphere – an under-publicised portion of the global mercury community.
Recently, one of our reporters sat down with Tom to discuss his innovative approach to pollution monitoring and his eagerness to represent the Southern hemisphere at ICMGP 2022.
