Brian Anderson has been a Research Specialist with the University of California since 1985. His current research interests include ecotoxicological studies of the effects of water pollution in coastal watersheds.  Current projects include monitoring and assessment studies of the effects of agriculture pesticides in central California watersheds, identification of key stressors of concern, and evaluation of vegetated treatment systems to reduce pollution loading.
 
Education
 
1982  B.S., Biological Sciences, Oregon State University (emphasis in marine ecology).

1987  M.A., Marine Biology, San Jose State University, Moss Landing Marine Laboratories (emphasis in phycology, marine ecology).
