COURSE TITLE: Wetlands bioremediation of emerging contaminants

INSTRUCTORS Judith Elizabeth Lacava

COURSE DESCRIPTION ABSTRACT:
Wetland ecosystems support many anthropogenic activities that may generate wastes that persist in the environment. Two case studies are presented on bioremediation of pollutants in the wetland ecoregion of the Parana Delata and Islands in Argentina.

Lacava BIO:
CONICET Doctoral fellow of Environmental Science at the National University of San Martin (UNSAM), Buenos Aires, Argentina. She studies bioremediation of wetland systems affected by agricultural practices and identifies the processes of bioaccumulation and biomagnification.
She currently works as head researcher in the faculty of Engineering and Natural Sciences at the Argentine University of Business (UADE), Buenos Aires, Argentina. julacava@uade.edu.ar.

Azul Denaro BIO:
Graduate in Biotechnology from the Faculty of Engineering and Natural Sciences at the Argentine University of Business (UADE), Buenos Aires, Argentina. Her interests include the study and application of strategies for environmental remediation in wetlands that show evidence of anthropogenic contamination. She thanks the SWS for allowing her the opportunity to be a member of the society and for providing a way to share with the scientific community the results received in the HumMentor program. She currently works as laboratory assistant at UADE, azuldenaro@gmail.com.
