	Aquatic Ecotoxicology Biomonitoring Contaminant Availability Risk Assessment Dr. Farris research has focused upon community interactions with disturbed or contaminated habitats to determine relative risks posed to ecosystems and organisms. Most often these investigations have involved aquatic organisms with more recent inclusion of assessment frameworks that include interfacing avian and amphibian populations. Much of his research efforts have been placed upon development of biomonitoring techniques that can be interpreted for use in both field and laboratory settings.
