"Clare Kilgour is a PhD student at the University of British Columbia in the Department of Zoology. Her research is part of the larger Road Salt and Pacific Salmon Success Project, and focuses on understanding the impacts of road salt contamination in urban salmon-bearing streams of the Vancouver Lower Mainland. Using data from a network of data loggers, she has demonstrated that pulses of road salt enter local streams during winter months, coinciding with spawning periods for Pacific salmon species like coho and chum salmon. Clare also conducts laboratory experiments with coho salmon and rainbow trout embryos to better understand sensitive developmental stages and the mechanism of road salt toxicity."
