Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Lance Gregory"
- Lance Gregory's recent research primarily focuses on the environmental impacts of aquatic ecosystems, particularly concerning pathogens like Vibrio cholerae and the prevalence of plastics in marine environments.
- His study on Lake Tanganyika used large scale plankton sampling and advanced molecular methods such as Droplet Digital PCR to detect Vibrio cholerae, emphasizing the lake’s role as a potential reservoir for the pathogen in cholera-endemic regions.
- Additionally, his investigation into ocean plastics analyzes a 60-year time series, highlighting the exponential increase in plastic pollution and its harmful effects on marine life and human health, backing the need for long-term monitoring.
