Ken G. Drouillard

Director of the School of Envrionment and Research affiliated with the Great Lakes Institute for Environmental Research, University of Windsor. I joined the University of Windsor as faculty in 2002. My area of expertise focuses on Great Lakes restoration, environmental monitoring, model based decision support tools and chemical fate in aquatic environments. I have been a member of the Detroit River Canadian Clean-Up committee since 2016 providing advice on research and monitoring activities in the Detroit River and its need to address de-listing of this International Area of Concern. I am also a researcher with the WE-SPARK Health Institute, University of Windsor. Through WE-SPARK I have contributed to research on cloth masks for use in public and community settings for the control of COVID-19 and other airborne disease vectors. As Director of the School of Environment, I manage undergraduate programs in Environmental Science and Environmental Studies. One of the courses I teach, call Global Water Crisis, attempts to address sustainable freshwater use within the water-food-energy
nexus under joint stressors of human population growth, affluence and climate change.
