Beverley Hale’s research program explores the relationships between soil contaminant metals accumulation in plants and the transfer of contaminants to mammalian consumers. Her research addresses significant concerns in ecotoxicology, particularly focusing on the risk assessment and remediation of soil contaminants. She utilizes a biotic ligand model framework to integrate bioavailability models and studies genetic and environmental factors influencing the uptake of inorganic contaminants by vegetation. Over the years, her program has been supported by notable partners such as the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC), Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC), and several industry partners. Graduates from her research program have found careers in various sectors including environmental consulting and academia. Dr. Hale’s work aims to bridge critical data gaps, thereby supporting public policy development and management plans concerning inorganic contaminants in soils.
