DR.
ANNEMIEKE FARENHORST
Dr. Farenhorst
joined the Department of Soil Science in May, 1998. Training
includes a B.Sc. in Physical Geography and Soil Science (University
of Amsterdam) and a Ph.D. in Soil Pesticide Chemistry (University
of Toronto).
Current
Research Interests
Dr. Annemieke Farenhorst is leading the pesticide research team in the Department of Soil Science. Its team members focus on experimental, monitoring and modeling studies to quantify the spatial and temporal variability of pesticide fate in soil and water at various scales. Additional research consists of experimental work on the retention and degradation of natural steroidal estrogens in soil. Farenhorst is also a collaborator on a community-based project in Central America: http://www.umanitoba.ca/afs/centralamerica_cbpm/home_en.htm
